Wausau: Summer at Mead: Foraging!

Join us this summer for field trips to the Mead Wildlife Area and experience unforgettable outdoor activities for all ages! Everyone is invited to join us on July 10th for our Foraging event!

Meet at MCPL-Wausau in the lower library parking lot on West Washington Street and hop on our bus for free transportation departing at 12:45 pm. Once we arrive at the Mead Wildlife area, participants will discover the bountiful harvest all around us with activities in ethical foraging, and identification of edible plants in the wild. As a bonus, there will be free giveaways! After our fun, we’ll take the bus back and arrive at MCPL-Wausau at 3:45 pm.

This event is free, but due to limited space, registration is required. Registration for this event opens on June 9. Check back on June 9, and below will be a blue register button. You may also register in person at the MCPL-Wausau Reference Desk on the second floor or call 715-261-7230. Registration will be capped at 40 participants and will close on Tuesday, July 8.
