Season’s last wild edibles walk

DAMASCUS, PA — Nathaniel Whitmore will hold his last scheduled nature walk for the season at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 1. The walk, which will be held at the Whitmore Farm on Whitmore Road, off Conklin Hill Road, will focus on edible plants that can be harvested in the autumn for immediate use or stored for the winter. Whitmore will have some nuts collected and some roots dug for show and will otherwise explain the identification and use of the plants found around the farm. Whitmore may also have some mushrooms to discuss, including his own cultivated shiitake. Participants are encouraged to bring along plants and mushrooms from their own property for identification.

The walk is free but donations are requested.
