WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Clark Art Institute's popular series of foraging walks returns this April. 

 

On the fourth Tuesday of the month from April through October, naturalist and wild edibles enthusiast Arianna Alexsandra Collins of the Hoosic River Watershed Association and Offerings for Community Building guides visitors across the Clark's 140-acre campus in a one-hour talk. Each walkabout begins on the Fernández Terrace by the Clark's Reflecting Pool.

 

During each foraging walk, Collins discusses characteristics for proper identification of flora and fungi, as well as meal and medicinal preparation. Trailside nibbling throughout the walkabout is encouraged. Collins is an environmental education professional with over twenty years of experience in teaching, developing programs, and engaging with the community.
