Forager Friday at Rushton Woods Preserve
This event has been postponed from Friday, May 6 to Friday, May 13! We hope you can still make it!

Restore our Roots will teach you about the different edible plants and weeds that pop up this time of year, and they will have a special foraging cookbook available for purchase at this event.
About Restore Our Roots: Based in Downingtown, Restore our Roots is a sub-committee of the Downingtown Borough’s Parks & Recreation Committee.
