Explore & Forage with Nicole

Join nature enthusiast and mycophile Nicole Zempel on a venture into the wilds of the Minnesota River Valley – a geologically significant place with some of the oldest exposed rock on planet earth.

It’s a place where rivers, prairielands and woodlands converge. A place of unique beauty and history. And, a place of diverse life. 

Explore the woodlands and prairielands of Skalbekken County Park and learn about the plants and fungi that inhabit the land of Southwestern Minnesota. 

I always say three things:

1.)    A foragers basket is always full

2.)    A person can truly never walk the same path twice – it’s always changing from day to day
