Join Lynden land manager Robert Kaleta on a walk around the grounds to learn how to identify, harvest, and process some of nature's delicious fall offerings--Wisconsin's own edible tree nuts. You will learn all you need to know to begin or continue your foraging endeavors, as well as the tools and techniques required to keep you busy processing your harvested nuts all winter long.

About Robert Kaleta
Robert Kaleta has been at Lynden for five years. He is very interested in restoration ecology, native plants, and edible wild plants. These interests guide a lot of his management decisions as land manager of Lynden's 40 acres. Robert enjoys sharing this knowledge while constantly learning from others in the field.

Land Stewardship at Lynden

The Lynden Sculpture Garden is transforming its natural habitats and formal landscapes into sustainable and diverse ecosystems that highlight their natural beauty. Our goal is to steward healthy habitats for an array of native plants and wildlife while adding a vibrant mosaic of color and texture to this sculptural landscape through every season. With over 40 acres and more than half a dozen specialized garden spaces, the Lynden provides many volunteer and learning opportunities, from removing invasive species to planting new trees and plugs, weeding, pruning, collecting, and spreading seeds. With a small land staff, volunteer help is essential to the evolution and restoration of the Lynden grounds.
