Upcoming Event

Winter Tree Identification & Fire Making Using Natural Tinder
Sunday, February 19, 2023
10:00 AM – 12:30 PM
(Snow/Rain Date: Sunday, February 26, 2023)

Join us on Sunday, February 19, 2023 for a winter woods walk focusing on tree identification using buds, bark, needles and branches. We will also discuss and gather natural tinder, culminating in the building of a safe and contained campfire. Once our fire is made, we’ll brew a pot of pine needle tea, followed by a fire ceremony focusing on letting go and a tasty treat. Our hope is that you head home heavier in knowledge and lighter in worries.

The event is limited to 12 people, so please register ahead so we can prepare adequately for the right number of people.

The price is $15 per person or $30 per family.

If you wear glasses, you may want to wear them instead of contacts to protect eyes from branches and sticks. We will have safety glasses available and sunglasses also serve this purpose well!

Please follow signs and you will be assisted in parking.
