What transportation services do you offer?

Is this service only seasonal?
Herbs, both edible and medicinal, can be found all year round! Just because some seasons seem "greener" than others does not mean that there are not great resources to be found. Herbal Expeditions operates all year. If there is a season you would like to learn to forage in or a season when you're more free to roam, schedule an outing with me. I love being outdoors in every season!
How fit should I be to go on an outing?
Herbal Expeditions is excited to share their expertise with anyone willing to learn. If physical ability or disability is a concern, I can flex on terrain and distance. Don't forget, however, that I also offer holistic consulting to support your mobility and health. Sign up for my health consulting services to add years to your life and life to your years!
What equipment do I need to bring on an expedition?
I ask that clients dress for the anticipated weather and terrain. When an outing is requested, I will work with the client's individual needs on distance, terrain, accessibility, level of expertise, and desired comfort level to build the trip. If there are equipment shortfalls, Herbal Expeditions will do our best to accommodate clients for the best experience possible!
