Description:
Join the Rotary Club of Harlem for a guided Foraging Walk in Central Park, a unique outdoor experience that invites participants to discover the edible and medicinal plants growing throughout one of New York City’s most iconic green spaces.
Led by renowned urban forager Wildman Steve Brill, this educational walk will introduce participants to wild edible greens, berries, roots, and medicinal plants while exploring how nature can support wellness, sustainability, and a deeper connection to our environment.
Whether you’re new to foraging or simply curious about the natural world around you, this event offers an engaging opportunity to learn practical skills, spend time outdoors, and connect with others in the community.
Event Details
Paper and plastic bags will be provided for collecting plants. Participants are encouraged to bring water, wear comfortable walking shoes, and bring small containers for delicate berries and digging tools if they wish to harvest root vegetables.
This event is part of Harlem Rotary’s Wellness in the Park initiative, which promotes health, education, environmental stewardship, and community connection through accessible outdoor programming.
Special thanks to Partnerships for Parks, City Parks Foundation, and the NYC Green Fund for their generous support in helping make this event possible.
