Sky Meadows' summer landscape comes alive with the bounty of nature. Join professional outdoor instructor Tim MacWelch to learn about the tasty wild edible plants of the Crooked Run Valley. This full day hike will cover native and non-native species of useful plants. Each participant will receive a full color copy of MacWelch's Summer Wild Edible Plants manual as a take-home reminder of the plants they studied in class.

Registration is $127/person (non-refundable) and includes the parking fee for Sky Meadows State Park. Register at http://advancedsurvivaltraining.com; class size is limited to 15 registrants (minimum 13 years of age).

The course will be held rain or shine. Bring water, dress in layers, and wear sturdy shoes. Proof of pre-registration must be presented upon arrival at the Park Contact Station. For COVID safety, participants will be required to provide their own mask and wear it during the entire program, while maintaining social distancing.
