Online Event – Foraging for Wild Edibles: Highbush Blueberry, sponsored by the Capital Region Native Plant Society

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the scheduled walk has been changed to an online, virtual walk.  This online event is the second of six in a series of virtual walks at a number of locations that will focus on Foraging for Wild Edibles.

This virtual walk will feature Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) that can be found bearing ripe fruit at this time throughout Ann Lee Pond Nature and Historic Preserve in the Town of Colonie. The online session will last around 45 minutes, including an interactive discussion period immediately following the information-packed ~10-minute presentation.

If you have an interest in foraging for wild edibles, please join me for all six episodes of this series of “walks.” The four subsequent sessions will each feature different plants and, over the course of this series, you’ll learn about edible plant parts, including leaves, roots, stems and fruits (both fleshy and nuts).
