INSTRUCTOR: Matt Berry
Wildcrafting provides a unique bridge between Permaculture and Nature Awareness. Matt Berry, who has been practicing and teaching primitive skills and nature awareness for over a decade, blends his passion and expertise in field biology, primitive skills, horticulture and Permaculture. After spending some time with Matt, you may never look at the weeds in the corner of your garden or the oak trees in your neighborhood the same way again!
This year, we offer a series of seasonal Wild Food Walks, as well as day long and weekend skill intensives. These classes will not only help to build your wildcrafting skills, but they will also deepen your connection with the natural world.
Classes are intended for adults, however children are welcome with a registered parent.
