Plant Walk through the Town Forest

with herbalist Mo Katz-Christy

Join us for a meander around the town forest, exploring weeds, plants, and shrubs.

Join herbalist Mo Katz-Christy for a meander around the town forest. We will meet at the town forest compost parking area, located near 368 Grove Street in Reading. We will explore weeds and cultivated plants, trees and shrubs, and have lots of space for questions and conversation. Bring a notebook if you like! There will be NO foraging. 

This event will take place outdoors at the town forest, rain or shine. We will reschedule if there are thunderstorms and lightning. Please plan to wear weather appropriate clothes and comfortable shoes. The town forest includes stairs and an uneven dirt path. 

Registration required. We recommend this program for ages 6 and up. Adults of all ages are welcome to attend. 

This program is generously sponsored by the Friends of the Reading Public Library.

For parking, please take a right onto Strout Avenue off Grove Street, take a right into the compost, continuing up the hill, and park in the flat gravel areas. Please do not go up the hill to the left and do not block the road into the Town Forest. Please see the map below for parking instructions.
