I booked this experience basically so that I could go for a hike without any fear of being eaten by a bear! I walked away with so much useful knowledge. Matthew was very personable, and when I went hiking by myself later on in the day, I was able to use that knowledge. to know which berries were edible, which plants were stinging plants, what a nurse tree was, and so much more. Not only was the forest, beautiful, but it was obvious that Matthew has a genuine love for nature which made me have a new found appreciation for it.
