Axel Peterman has been a forager since birth. Growing up in Woodlawn and Hyde Park, he worried many a middle school teacher and camp counselor by eating things that he'd found on the lawn, and by teaching his friends about them. After 11 years of living and teaching in the northern town of Ashland, WI, during which time he led over a hundred foraging walks, as well as workshops on a variety of other subjects, he's back in Chicago and thrilled to explore the wild edibles of his hometown --- and to teach his friends and neighbors about them.
