Connect with our natural environment and engage your senses on a curated forest food trail, and experience Johnson Nature Center in a whole new light!
Chef Chris Gadulka and Chef Johnny Prepolec will give guests a new perspective on cooking and eating for wellness and sustainability by utilizing forest gastronomy dishes. Featuring seven courses, the chefs will intertwine Michigan native and invasive species of flora and fauna as ingredients in the dishes served throughout a quarter mile trail. Guests will have an opportunity to connect with their natural environment and engage their senses as they stroll the trails to taste chefs’ creations and learn about forest food and its relationship with our ecosystem. There will be live music, an open bar, performing artists, and interactive demonstrations that will shed light on the ecological issues we face in our hyperlocal environment.
