Frontier Foraging

Foraging has been used in North America for centuries; early frontiers depended on the foraging knowledge of indigenous peoples to thrive as they established colonies in the Americas. Join a Foraging Instructor, Chelsea, to learn about some wild edibles found in Iowa and how to prepare them, and even sample a few.

This event is held at the Benton County Nature Center.
