This course will take students on a guided hike of the Wintergreen Trail at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve, one of the most beautiful places to spot the unique and transient spring ephemerals. We will meet at the Kickapoo Valley Reserve Visitors' Center at 9am and begin our hike shortly after. Please come prepared with rain gear or other clothing that will allow you to sit on the wet ground and draw for a time. As we walk through the fields and forest, we will focus on the unique ecology of these understory plants that bloom and fade before the forest canopy leafs out. We may see skunk cabbage, hepatica, Dutchman's Breeches, and other fantastic species, taking time to draw several and record notes. Please bring the following: a small field notebook, pens, pencils & erasers, water, and a light snack. The language of this class is geared toward high school students and adults, but children are welcome to come along.Date: Saturday, April 12

Sliding Scale Course Fee Guidelines (not including Materials Fees)
Supporter Level Ticket: $70
If you move through the world with financial ease and the means to fulfill many of your wants as well as your needs – you are able to eat out when you want, abundantly meet your needs through employment or can comfortably not work, have access to family wealth, own property, etc. – consider paying at this level, which will help us ensure the long term sustainability of our programs while keeping our offerings accessible to those with access to fewer resources.
Sustainer Level Ticket: $55
If you are able to meet your needs with relative ease while budgeting your educational and entertainment spending – for instance, you are able to take classes and eat out occasionally as long as you are mindful – consider paying at this level, which will help sustain the work of the Folk School at a modest level.
Supported Level Ticket: $40
If you struggle to fund your basic needs and have limited access to resources in your family and community, or if you would not be able to access this offering without a discounted payment option, consider paying at this level.
