Learning from the Land in Spring, with Nicholas WazeeGale

This will be an experiential day of learning to interpret the stories of the living landscape. From birds returning, frogs calling and breeding, and mammals feeding on rich spring growth (and each other), to wild edibles along the river bank and the history of the land written in tree species and growth, we will endeavor to put together the puzzle pieces that show us how the wild communities around us function and abound at this special time of year. Emphasis will be placed on respect, connection, interpretation of track and sign, and productive times, places, and methods by which to see and experience more of what is happening around us. This class will take place in the diverse landscapes of the Kickapoo Valley Reserve. Please be prepared for a full day off and away!

Date: Saturday, April 27
Times: 9:00am - 4:30pm
Lunch will be provided.
Ages: 12+
Location: Kickapoo Valley Reserve, La Farge, WI

Sliding Scale Course Fee Guidelines (not including Materials Fees)

Supporter Level Ticket: $115
If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.

Sustainer Level Ticket: $90
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take classes and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.

Supported Level Ticket: $65
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level.
