Spring Break Staycation: Foraging with the Family

This spring break, transform your usual holiday into an educational excursion that connects your family with the natural world. Through hands-on learning and shared experiences, foraging can provide invaluable lessons in sustainability, conservation and the joy of discovering the natural world right at our footsteps.

With over 20 years experience in the field working with people of all ages connecting to place with wild plants AND successfully having raised my own two children to be engaged and inspired by the natural world around them, I’ve designed this mini-guide to introduce children how to forage and foster a lifelong connection with nature and an understanding of ecological responsibility.

Read on and learn how to bring these fundamentals to life and then learn an easy and fun pesto recipe based on wild greens — a great delicious way to wrap up a day learning wild plants and feed a hungry crew!
