Wild Edible Plants and Mushroom Foraging

Join Connecticut Traveling Environmental Educators (CTEE) and special guest Joe Forager (from Eat the Planet) to learn about wild edible plants and mushrooms using West Rock Ridge State Park as an example. Meet us in the Lake Wintergreen parking lot and we will take a short hike from there, looking at the plants along the way. Registration is requested.

This program is offered for educational purposes only. State of Connecticut Agency Regulations (State Park Rules) prohibit the removal of vegetation from state park property (Title 23 Sec. 23-4-1(b)). However, the only type of foraging allowed is for mushrooms, provided it is for personal use only, and with the understanding that the state has no liability to any person engaging in the activity of taking mushrooms (CGS Chapter 447 Sec. 23-4 (b) as amended by Public Act 17-150). Foraging should only be from one's own property.
