After a few strange comments and messages about capitalism and promotion, I think it's also important to say that Arthur's story podcast was created to encourage kids to read and to enjoy nature-inspired stories. That's all! It isn't, and never will be monitized, and is entirely not for profit. Arthur is willingly giving up his time to record these stories for children (and adults!) everywhere, and in order to get people to listen to it, it needs to be promoted. He isn't selling anything, and we are not "using him to generate profit". He's just a very happy kid doing something really great and worthwhile and telling everyone about it. This really shouldn't make anyone feel "uncomfortable" or "outraged".

The weather looks stellar ✨️for tomorrow.( Thursday the 11th) Nearly 50* here in Willow Springs. If anyone wants to come hang out at the river, cook on any of the 4 🔥 pits, eat, drink cacao/tea, and be merry... lmk!
Tables available for board games too. River exploration, Fort building, rock hounding?

2023 was a wild year for The Grizzly Forager! We‘ve been completely bowled over by all the love and support you’ve shown for our little family and our wild adventures in the forest.

In 2024, we have some exciting things planned! Arthur has been a busy little bee over the past couple of months recording stories for his new podcast, which we hope to launch this month🎙️Daddy will also be kept busy over the next few months on a new and very exciting project, too (but I can’t say what that is just yet!). We’re hopefully going to be embarking on a treehouse build in the garden as well! 🌲🏡🌲

Today I spied some catkins and it’s made me very excited for Spring and all the wild greens that will soon be sprouting - we can’t wait to share some of our favourite plants with you all in the next few months. After Mushroom Season, Spring is one our favourite times to forage, so stay tuned for that!

Finally, I’d like to thank every single on of you for sticking with us - you are the nicest bunch of people and the love, care and encouragement you show Arthur and Sybbie is such a blessing. You truly are all amazing and we’re so grateful to have you all join us on our wild adventures.

Wishing you all a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

With Mush Love,

🐻

No nature co-cop today. I will post next meet-up, next week.

UPDATE: it's been raining here for the past 2 hours...just drizzle, but considering the lack of RSVPs, we will cancel for today, and meet again at the next gathering. I will post time and date prior. I'm off into the 300 ac to hunt for 🍄

We will be ready for visitors from 10-1 p.m., tomorrow 10/13/23.
I will be starting the fire early, and slowly cooking a soup, throughout the morning. Feel free to bring anything else you'd like to cook or share. Bring your own seating, tableware, and drinks. Filtered water is available.
We will be attempting to sketch out a few activities and projects for the upcoming meeting dates.
As always... please RSVP
