3-Hour Guided Foraging Experience | Tea Walk & Wild Harvest | $97.00
Join us in the beautiful Pinckney State Recreation Area for an afternoon of exploration, connection, and discovery as we learn directly from the land.
A Taste of the Forest is a guided wild tea foraging experience designed to help you slow down, notice more, and deepen your relationship with nature.
Together, we'll wander forest trails identifying seasonal edible plants, learning sustainable harvesting practices, and discovering how to dry and preserve herbs for future use. Along the way, we'll gather ingredients for a wild tea blend and experience the simple joy of sharing a warm mug of tea outdoors.
This is not a survival course.
This is Recess.
