Reminders:
Participants will be informed via email of the initial meeting location 5 days prior to the workshop date.
This meeting location will serve as our check-in point, from which the group will caravan to the foraging location.
Participants who arrive more than 20 minutes late to the initial location will likely miss the caravan and therefore, forfeit their participation in the workshop.
Forage locations are commonly situated off bumpy, rugged gravel roads. Folks who arrive at the meeting location in low-clearance vehicles will be encouraged to carpool with a participant driving a higher clearance vehicle.
Foraging locations may be up to 45 minutes away from the initial meeting location.
Forages are hosted in wild, remote places with a variety of natural risks. Please review the disclaimers on the class description, as well as the details in the online waiver.
Do not expect to have cell phone reception for the duration of the workshop, or while driving to the meeting location or forage location.
Dogs are not allowed at any WildCraft workshop or forage.
