Thank you for this article, it’s a great resource! I was searching fruitlessly for foraging classes in NJ before I found this.
No problem, Please share. After researching all foraging class providers for every state I came to one conclusion. There should be more. NJ isn’t to bad but many people in many parts of the country would have to travel hours to meet up with a foraging group.
Where did you locate a foraging class or group in NJ
Still looking for 1. Atlantic Highlands in Nj has
an amazing supply of open park lands. The variation in the hill and valleys would be excellent for any forage classes
Where are the tours and classes in NJ
