Foraging class?

[spencer rifle]

Also, all my people are planning on there being a price for this, so let me know what you’re thinking. I appreciate you offering to do this.

Lunch at 5 Guys might cover it.

It's a bit of jog for me, but I'd love to ride up and learn. Can it be a game day call, when coming from distance? Or must it be a firm commitment in advance to attend?

Metea.
I am by profession a park naturalist/park manager. I also get to go caving, see eclipses and teach about bug out bags while getting paid for it.

That's awesome. Have you ever done any of the hikes with scout troop 3049? We do a fall hike in Metea and always have naturalists teach the kids things as we hike.

Yes.

 

[teddy12b]

Yes.

We may have already met and not even known it.

 

[cosermann]

Interested on a Saturday if it's in the afternoon. Has time of day been discussed up thread?

 

[AtTheMurph]

I'd be interested

 

[Stimp]

I am interested also and from Fort Wayne area. Let me know details when you can so I may join please.

Is this Forage Hike setup around what we've been talking about here or is it something that was already setup as part of the department of parks and rec? Either way, I'm interested and I'd like to read more on this. Would this be something bring a kid to?

The idea came from here, and I just decided today to open it up to the public. It has not been publicized yet and is still on the drawing board. Children are welcome, as are well-behaved dogs on leash.

 

[jsharmon7]

Excellent!!

 

[vvet762]

Count my wife and me in.

 

[jsharmon7]

Well, I can’t make it. It’s my anniversary, and I have to work a “nobody is allowed to be off” weekend. My brother and 4 others will be registering though.

 

[spencer rifle]

I could conceivably move it to the Saturday before. Anyone that won't work for?

 

[teddy12b]

[STRIKE]I have an event to attend on the 19th, but could likely make both of those work in the same day. Moving it ahead a week puts it in two days from now, which I can personally do also, but that's up you.[/STRIKE]

Never mind, I missed the October and was thinking September. Back to the coffee machine.

 

[Karl-just-Karl]

I realize I'm late to the party, but I would be interested as well.

The first Saturday of the month usually has me busy with range duties, so I'll just join in if I can.

When/if you finalize a time please let me know and I will try to get there!

The October 10th date is doable. Is preregistration required?

That would be October 3 if we moved it up a week. I can do either, and will wait a little longer to see how this shakes out with the rank and file.

 

[jsharmon7]

Don’t move anything around on my account. It sounds like that date works for most, so I’ll just catch a future date if it happens again.

 

[spencer rifle]

I could arrange another for those who have to miss.

OK, we're on for October 10. I would prefer that everyone register at the email provided above. Social distance encouraged, masks recommended if you are concerned.
