Join us for a spring plant walk at Ridgewood Reservoir, where the landscape comes alive with early blooms, budding trees, and the first signs of the season’s lush greenery. As we stroll through this historic watershed, we’ll explore the medicinal, edible, and ecological significance of the plants emerging in late April.
Expect to see violets, chickweed, cleavers, garlic mustard, mugwort, dandelion, and young burdock leaves, along with budding trees! We’ll discuss their uses in herbalism, foraging ethics, and how to identify key features in a dynamic urban wild space.
This walk is perfect for anyone curious about botanical medicine, urban ecology, or simply deepening their relationship with nature. Bring a notebook, comfortable walking shoes, and an open mind!
We will meet in the parking lot across from the reservoir which is located at 52-8 Vermont Place, Glendale, NY, 11385. The google map link can be found here.
