Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this other kids camp class:

Teatown is a rich natural area full of edible and medicinal wild plants and mushrooms. The trails that encircle the lake guarantee an abundance of many common late summer herbs, greens, berries, and fungi. 

Here's what we can expect: 

Leafy greens such as poor man's pepper, wood sorrel, sheep sorrel, purslane, lamb's-quarters, and Asiatic dayflower are more than likely. Garlic mustard seeds are a certainty. Field garlic will also be producing seeds, and there may be crunchy foxtail grass seeds.
 
Hawthorns will be in abundance. This late summer-early fall fruit, which grows on thorny trees, tastes like apples on steroids. We’ll also look for hackberries, small brown berries that taste like the candy coating of M&Ms.

With enough rain beforehand and some luck, gourmet spring mushrooms such as the chicken mushrooms, black-staining polypores, and hygrophorus milky mushroom, may also be popping up.

Note:
  • Participants should be dressed for the weather, and be aware of very bad subway service. Trains are often canceled due to track work. 
  • No sandals (there are mosquitoes, thorns and poison ivy). Everyone should have plastic bags for veggies and herbs, paper bags for mushrooms, which spoil in plastic, containers for berries from late spring through fall, water and lunch, and extra layers when it's cold. Digging implements and pocket knives are optional. 
  • Dogs are permitted. Children are encouraged to attend.
  • There's no smoking whatsoever at any time.
School Notes:
If you can't attend the class you signed up for, please call or email "Wildman" Steve Brill a day before the start of the class. No-call/no-show creates an inconvenience to all participants since we can’t tell if absentees are having transportation issues, and this delays the start of the tour/class.

Kindly note that price posted is our suggested donation only.

Refund Policy

  • Participants can cancel 2 business days before an event and get a refund less a 5% nonrefundable registration fee.
  • If the participant failed to show up in the tour or failed to notify about their absence 2 business days before the class, they will be required to pay a $25 penalty per person before being allowed on another tour.
  • In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
