Wild edibles offer a variety of health benefits to you and add unique flavors and textures to your meals. Join Nick Spero for a walk to learn about wild edibles available in the summer. Chanterelle mushrooms should be peaking around this date and Nick will instruct you on their identification. Difficulty: Easy to moderate (low intensity hiking). What to wear/bring: Wear sturdy shoes and bring a water bottle. Volunteer opportunity: A volunteer is needed to assist with the sign-in, accepting payment, and act as the sweep (the person bringing up the rear of the group ensuring everyone stays together). If you would like to volunteer to help with this event the fee is waived. Please contact eglaeser@marylandnature.org for more information. Nick Spero loves to hunt and fish, and primitive technology has piqued his interest since he was a child. You can view a video produced by NPR about Nick here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1xwtvP9Vls. Nick, like most of the other people who lead NHSM field trips, is a volunteer, so your money will go directly to support the programs, the nature collections, and the building that make this kind of nature education possible.
