Earth Path

We spend our days on program adventuring through the forest among the wildflowers 🌼

We notice the small things, how the grass is taller then the previous week, the trees have more leaves, and the cold wind is getting warmer.

What do you notice these days?

Some incredible sculptures now adorn the creek 🐢

Some of our participants got their hands dirty and turned into incredible artists! Can you tell what has been sculpted?

Tea making and a long wander on program last week 🌲

One way we love to warm up on program is by making tea with conifers. Our nature teachers help participants learn how to identify what trees can make tea as well as how to brew it.

This Mohawk-led workshop introduces participants to the world of wild-sourced teas, focusing on plant identification, ethical harvesting practices, and preparation methods rooted in Mohawk tradition and ecological knowledge. Participants will learn how to recognize several local plants that can be used to create nourishing teas, while also gaining an understanding of respectful relationships with the land and the importance of harvesting in ways that support the health of plant communities.

The workshop is led by Nature Educator and Naturalist Sam Beehler, who was born and raised on a Mohawk reserve and mentored from a young age by a storyteller who shared traditional knowledge and teachings. Through this mentorship, Sam learned skills such as hunting, foraging, and storytelling, developing a deep connection with the land and the plants in it.
