Join award-winning forager, outdoor educator and James Beard Award winner Alexis Nikole Nelson for a lively conversation about wild foods, sustainability and the rich cultural traditions connected to the plants growing all around us. With more than five million followers across Instagram and TikTok, Nelson has become a beloved social media creator known for her joyful and informative foraging videos. She inspires audiences to see the natural world in a new way while exploring the intersections of food, history and environmental stewardship. Through storytelling, humor and practical insights, she invites us to reconnect with the land—and maybe discover a few tasty surprises hiding in plain sight. As the United States marks its 250th anniversary, the conversation also looks ahead to how our relationships with food, land and one another can help shape the next 250 years.

Nelson will be signing her new book, "Happy Snacking, Don't Die!" Booksweet will have them available for purchase while supplies last. Purchase in advance from Booksweet. 

This event will be moderated by Will Brinkerhoff, a SEAS agroecologist, chef and science communicator.
