Conservancy Spring Events

Land stewardship takes many different forms. It can look like volunteering to build sustainable trails for recreation, or deepening your understanding of the historical or ecological significance of an area while on a hike. The Conservancy offers a variety of events for the community to explore different ways to connect to the land.

June 18- Foraging at Rimrock to Riverside

Each participant will receive their own salve starter kit to take home. The workshop will follow sustainable foraging practices. Register here.

July 9- Foraging at Waikiki Springs
The flowers you see while out hiking and biking have more to offer than beautiful colors in bloom!

Join Rose Richardson to learn about the healing powers of plants and how to sustainably harvest them for a salve. The workshop will cover responsible foraging practices and proper plant identification. All participants will receive their own salve starter kit to take home. Register here.
