The purpose of this group is to discover, explore and understand the natural resources existing in an urban environment. During the weekend I teach classes in what I call "Urban Outdoor Skills" and once a month, I take people on a donation-based hike/meeting to explore the city wilderness where we learn about wild edible food, the various uses of plants (medicinal, aromatic, etc...) and how to use nature to become more self-reliant. The hike/Meeting is very informal - we have a mix of experts an …

Most people in the United States these days have a huge disconnect from the natural environment.

This group is for all ages, races, religions, and conditions of people. Anybody can participate as much or as little as they like, …
