“Hiking and foraging club has been the perfect experience for my nine-year-old son. He loves being outdoors, going on adventures, and being in Wellfleet’s woods. Elspeth took the kids out hiking every week, rain or shine, and encouraged them to run and play while simultaneously learning about the nature around them. I can’t say enough good things about this program!” - Lisa

“I’m studying environmental studies in college, but the most important learning I’ve done has been foraging, making biochar, walking the land with CommonsKeeepers and the mentors they’ve brought in. Being immersed in the ecosystem while we are leaning changed how I understand what it means to know something. Our gatherings showed me that the kind of life I want to live - working with the land, outside, with other people, in an unconventional way - is actually possible. CommonsKeepers gave me a lived experience of what I means to be reciprocal relationship with the earth, with plants, with other people from a place of abundance and love.”
