Please join us for a foraging workshop. Our October volunteer day will be focused on invasive plant removal to keep our forest in balance. After working to control our invasive plants, Luke Bauer will lead all who are interested on a foraging hike to look for edible bounty that can be found in our Autumn woods.
This volunteer opportunity is available to ANY friends of nature – runners, bikers, hikers, Master Naturalists, and neighbors.
We will meet at the Friends Wilderness parking area. Turn onto Mission Road from Route 115 (a right-hand turn if coming from Charles Town, WV), go 6.5 miles and turn left onto the gravel road with signage for Rolling Ridge. Turn right at the intersection of Floc Way, Tupelo Lane, and Mission Road. Turn left at the intersection of Mission Road and Christ Church Rd, then bear right onto Friends Way. Follow the signs toward the Niles Cabin. For those of you that usually come from the Virginia access (SU campus), you’ll either need to ride your bike or drive the long way to the WV meeting site.
Things you should bring: Work boots, gloves, water bottle, snack, sunglasses or eye protection.
Safety Note: There is always the consideration of ticks and snakes in our landscape and thought should be placed on dressing for the environment (i.e. long pants tucked into socks and a good pair of shoes or boots).
