Lindsay Coyne will lead a workshop and edibles walk at Rock River Retreat, 1792 280th St., Webster City, on Saturday, October 7. The workshop is hosted by Legacy Learning Boone River Valley.

Registration is at LegacyLearningBRV.org.

Coyne and registrants will meet for a wild edibles walk to get to know the environment at Rock River and its unique natural gifts. She will point out edible and medicinal plants and help you harvest plants to create your own individual healing balm.

“As a sustainable forager, I spend time in nature, waiting for the plants to be at their optimal potency, using only those that are prolific in any given season,” she said.

Coyne has a BS in human nutrition and dietetics and is an herbalist and wild food forager who loves to share. She offers monthly herbal medicine-making classes in the Des Moines area. She has presented and led group forages and prepared wild foods at the Great Lakes Foragers Gathering.

Legacy Learning Boone River Valley provides a service by offering scheduled opportunities to participate in hands-on activities in classes taught in a relaxed setting. The classes foster appreciation of natural resources through art and nature studies and are taught by artists, natural resource professionals, and skilled craftspeople that love to share their skills by teaching others.
