EDIBLE AND MEDICINAL PLANT TOURS with Nathaniel Whitmore

Welcome graphic

NATURE WALK SCHEDULE

I offer nature walks to both public and private audiences, where I discuss the use of wild plants as food and medicine. As an herbalist, and as a human, I particularly delight in harvesting foods and medicines from the wild.

The following schedule is a work in progress. It should be completed by the end of January. Until then the dates are very subject to change. I lead walks rain or shine.
For most walks I only collect a voluntary contribution. This year I will also have some workshops, for which there will be set fees. These workshops will be hands-on learning experiences. You will learn many more details of identification than on my "normal" walks. You will also harvest, prepare, and eat some wild foods and teas.
