Here is an updated list of our upcoming programs in Connecticut and southern Rhode Island. Most will include a PowerPoint with original photographs, educational handouts, and Nature Center locations include outdoor interactive walks. We will have copies of our newly released book, Adventures in Edible Plant Foraging: Finding, Identifying, Harvesting, and Preparing Native and Invasive Wild Plants, available for purchase.
We still have many Saturdays in July and August available for programs for YOUR organization, nature center, land trust, or library in Connecticut, Rhode Island, or southern Massachusetts. Contact us directly at kraczewski@comcast.net
Hope to see you out there!

We are participating as part of Team Fungi) http://web.uconn.edu/mnh/bioblitz/BioBlitz2016.html
"More than 100 scientists will begin the species survey on Friday at Great River Park, and will canvass habitats found within a four-mile radius of the Two Rivers Magnet School. Surveyors will be sampling the Connecticut and Hockanum rivers, floodplains, forests, freshwater ponds, open fields, as well as more human-dominated and developed areas, and are hoping to catalogue more than 1,500 species.
On Saturday June 4, beginning at 10am, the public is invited to come to the school and participate in a variety of activities. People of all ages are invited to come and see a rich sampling of Connecticut’s plant and animal life, attend presentations about biodiversity, talk with scientists and naturalists, and participate in the ongoing activities."

Live near Worcester, MA. Do you know of anyone near here who teaches wild edibles? Enjoying your book. Found your blog when looking for knotweed recipes.
Blanche Derby lives near Northampton, and Russ Cohen is near the Boston area. We are willing to travel to the Worchester area for classes if our travel expenses are covered, and an organization is willing to "sponsor" us and help with promoting and advertising a presentation.
Hi,
I live in Stamford and new to the area. Does anyone know where I might forage for dandelions? Thanks!
