A day devoted to seeking Nature's wintertime secrets. We will explore the marshes, forests, and meadows, and learn what great opportunities to connect to the land this season offers. Though largely an exploration there will be lessons on recognizing tree species by bark and form, seeing sign of illusive local mammals, learning how some of our smallest birds tough out winter, and even learning what nutrition and medicine the winter wilds offer us. Winter can quickly turn from a burden to a bliss with the right gear, an inquisitive mind, brisk movement and connected engagement with the snowy wilds.

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. We value your presence and contributions to our community and do not want any economic circumstances to be a barrier to attendance!
Warm winter gear is very important here. Warm winter boots with removable insulation liners, warm gloves, mitts, layers on upper body and lower, etc. We will be moving but also stopping. Due to regulation updates, we will not be able to have a fire.
