Events

Nature follows its own schedule, so events happen when the trees are ready, not on a specific day.  Join our mailing list (click join at the top of the page) to be alerted when events will happen.  New events added often so join the mailing list, or check back often.

Most of these classes will involve going to a location, talking about how to id the tree, harvesting a small (or large) amount, be sure to wear weather appropriate clothing.  Event details will be given out over the mailing list, and if tools/equipment are needed (most of the time just a bucket/basket) that information will be given as well. All events are free to attend.
