Forage & Create Wreathmaking Workshop

  • Kezar River Reserve & Hobbs Memorial Library (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Join us for a hands-on forage and wreath-making workshop!

We’ll begin at Kezar River Reserve with a short walk to gather evergreen boughs and other natural materials while learning about responsible foraging and the plants we encounter along the way. The foraging walk will be very short and take place on flat, even ground.

After gathering our materials, we’ll head to Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library to create seasonal wreaths to take home.

We hope participants can join us for both parts of the program, but we’ll have extra greenery available for anyone unable to participate in the walk. If you are unable to join us for the foraging portion, please let us know ahead of time so we can gather enough additional greenery for everyone.

Wreath-making supplies will be provided. Registration is required, and space is limited.

Registration will open in early November.

This program is co-hosted by GLLT, Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library, and Lovell Rec.

What's new for 2026

  • The same great route (if it's not broke…)

  • For those who want to keep on Ramblin', a new 10-mile "Crooked-Kezar Extension" is on offer, details below

  • To pile on this year's Kezar love, we're adding a new community partner, the Greater Lovell Land Trust! (That's us!)

  • A friggin' rad new Crooky logo and t-shirt courtesy of our friend and amazing local artist, Amy Borch

  • And the snacks keep getting better! 

The Highlights

  • Soak in epic mountain views from your high gravel perch

  • Conquer historic farm roads and ATV trails

  • Ponder the mythical “Hand on the Rock”  

  • Gaze into the depths of the legendary Kezar Gorge 

This ride is not a race. It's designed to bring people together around a shared love of the outdoors and provide an opportunity to challenge yourself, explore a new place, and hopefully make a few new friends!
