    Really enjoyed the class I learned so much looking forwards to taking this course again.

    Delightful experience and guide, will do again. Main advice - bring hand warmers in the winter.
  • Prospect Park (Kids 12 & Under)

    Excellent course! Only issue was actually finding the in-person foraging class, which was meeting in a crowded public area without sufficiently specific location details and no instructor contact details on the Coursehorse website or emailed course registration confirmation. Luckily the instructor's name was mentioned on the Coursehorse website, and I was able to do and online search, find his contact info and reach him by phone to locate the class so my daughter and I could get there before they departed into the woods for the class. Coursehorse should provide better class meeting location details and instructor contact information on their website and emailed course registration confirmations.

    This class was amazing– exactly the kind of expert and community treasure we should be featuring on this platform. Steve is awesome. I had an amazing time, it was exactly what I was looking for and showed me new dimensions of my neighborhood and connect with my neighbors.

    Steve was hilarious, insightful and took great care on guiding us through the park and providing detailed identification of plants. Best money you'll ever spend on a course, and one that will help you find free food for the rest of your life!

    The instructor was very informative! And the foraged snacks along the way were delightful treats. I feel more connected to our parks after taking this foraging class.

    The beginning of the event was great. Wildman Drill pointed out some leaves in the playground that was fascinating to learn about. Everyone was able to crowd around him and hear his informative talk. But as the event progressed, we got into narrow areas where everyone was not able to crowd around him. And though he is a very informative person, and I really enjoyed learning from him, I was unable to appreciate the second half of the event because I was unable to hear anything he said. I think I would have enjoyed this event a lot more if instead of having 30+ people and 3 dogs, the group was smaller, like 10-12 people. And if he had a megaphone or some kind of loudspeaker, it would have made it easier to hear him. My wife and I went on a tour up by Fort Tyron Garden. The tour Guide had a megaphone, and we were able to hear every word she said. The tour was very enjoyable, and I recommended it to several friends and family members. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending this event.

    Wildman Steve is a quite the character, but a devoted and invaluable resource for learning about the world around us! Highly recommend this insightful and surprisingly affordable experience.

    Despite that day's rainy conditions, I really enjoyed this urban foraging adventure. Wildman Steve's wealth of knowledge & experience, casual teaching style, and humor kept me engaged the entire time. I was amazed to learn about just how many edible plants and mushrooms were growing all around us in this city park. My only regret was forgetting to bring a collection bag to take some samples home!

    It was great class and teacher! However please check hus website for the actual info of the class! Meeting location is the same but the time is probably different! Definitely worth it, he was very knowledgeable and funny!

    Mark P. • September 10, 2023
    It was fun! We walked through prospect park looking for different plants/herbs to forage. The guide was eccentric and knowledgeable. I definitely forgot most of the things he taught us, but it was fun regardless.

    It was a really positive experience. The teacher was very kind, knowledgeable, and was exactly where he said he’d be in the park. I’d book again

    Steve and Violet were immensely knowledgeable and I recommend this walk to anyone curious about connecting with the plants in their path. As an amateur forager, I left with several new plant allies to name and work with as food and medicine. Disclaimer: brace yourself for some seriously corny jokes :-)

    The instructor is very knowledgeable but the group was to large. I rather pay more for a smaller group. It was hard to hear him.

    This could not have been any better. Mr. Wildman is about as entertaining and informative as any instructor ever. Bring a friend and take a walk around the park eating the edible plants you walk past un-knowingly every day. Make sure to bring water and a lunch unless you want to subsist on gout weed alone! Bring a plastic or paper bag if you want to keep some plants for recipes. We made a great pesto from the greens we collected.
