Join Jonathan Shapiro and Lucian Avery of Fox Paw School for a weekend of using our senses to explore our surroundings, ground ourselves in place, and discover August's wild flavors. This class will offer a thorough introduction to eating wild plants from our local watershed — we'll cover everything from field botany and plant identification to sustainable foraging, harvesting techniques, and food preparation. Most of our time will be spent in the field, with some short classroom segments.
Co-sponsored by the Harris Center for Conservation Education & The Cornucopia Project.
Jonathan Shapiro believes that a deep and accurate understanding of the more-than-human world is necessary for us to be healthy, both as a culture and as individuals. The Fox Paw School is his small step toward reconnecting himself and others with the rest of our wild kin. When he's not teaching, you'll find him poking around beaver wetlands, watching the clouds, and listening to birds. His other interests include hunting, fishing, running, reading books by the woodstove, and making crafts.
