Fall Foraging 101
An educational hike on Mount Seymour in North Vancouver, offering a fantastic opportunity to explore the diverse and lush ecosystems of the Pacific Northwest. The trails wind through dense forests of silver fir, western hemlock, and red cedar, where the cool, moist climate fosters a variety of mushrooms and plants.

- Basic foraging instruction (identification of common edible plants and mushrooms).
