Pageant workshops are offered to the public free of charge. Free arts programming is important to us - it’s a way to give back to the community that helps build the Pageant each summer. Spaces are limited in these workshops, and they fill up on quickly and usually have waitlists. With that in mind, we ask that you consider the following:
If you register for a workshop,make the commitment to attend - put the dates in your calendar and show up.
If you sign up and realize you can no longer attend, email us to withdraw your registration so someone on the waitlist can participate.
Please consider a donation to River Clyde Arts to assist with the administration and material costs of these workshops. Your contributions help us ensure we can continue to offer high-quality, accessible arts programming to the community.

Fall Forage with Biologist Kate MacQuarrie

Join professional botanist Kate MacQuarrie for a guided walk through the hills of Central PEI. We'll identify a range of edible and medicinal plants (and maybe a few fungi!) in meadow and woodland habitats. Kate likes to get people to touch, taste, and smell plants whenever possible, and you may be surprised at some of the flavours to be found! The walk will be roughly two hours, and follows a grassy trail. The terrain is hilly (by PEI standards), but boots aren't needed unless it's raining. You may want to bring a notebook and/or camera. Whether you are an experienced forager or new to the world of wild foods, you're certain to learn a few new things at this event!

This is Kenneth’s tenth season guiding with Outside Expeditions and he has been the owner of the business since 2019. Besides kayaking, Kenneth is an avid surfer and likes to spend time in the garden trying to get plants and flowers to grow (with some success).
