Women’s Tracking Meetup

Come practice tracking awareness in a supportive environment. We’ll listen to Bird language, go where the Deer go, and read the stories told by scat. All women and nonbinary folks welcome (it’s about hearts, not parts), and all experience levels–we are all students here. No fee, no registration. Bring a notebook, bring a friend! Time: 5-6:30pm

Please contact us with any questions: ecphorallc@gmail.com

Pawpaw Basket Making Workshop

Learn to weave a bark basket with us! This workshop takes place over 2 sessions. Session 1 will focus on ethically harvesting the bark from the Pawpaw tree, processing it to dry, and making cordage. In Session 2 we will weave the bark into baskets. If we are lucky we will use our baskets to carry foraged Pawpaw fruit!
