“Jillian was as knowledgeable as she was accommodating to our rambunctious 4 year old. She even got him to try some wood sorrel which is incredible since he’s such a fussy eater.”
One of best adventures we’ve had in the entire country, TripAdvisor

A great way to reframe how you experience nature, TripAdvisor

“Natalie’s enthusiasm is contagious and her knowledge of local flora is incomparable… The most remarkable and memorable part of our experience was the fact that, against all odds, Natalie found my wife’s keys (which accidentally fell out of her pocket somewhere during our 2+ hour walk/hike) in deep leaves within a swale near the top of a mountain!! Now that’s one amazing forager :)”
Knowledge, Enthusiasm, and the best darned foraging trip ever!, TripAdvisor

“Alan is not only an expert at identifying plants & fungi; he is also a poet/singer/actor with hilarious stories conveying important messages. Just hanging out with him is worth the price of the ticket.”
