Salem Forest Lore Tour

Overview

Unlike any walking tour in Salem, the Forest Lore Tour takes you outside the heart of downtown and into one of the few remaining wild places in the area, where you learn from a practicing Witch, what it means to experience real magic, why nature is so important, and how to incorporate ancient knowledge into modern life.

Wear your hiking boots and bring your curiosity! This is a one-mile, guided hike that takes to you the crossroads of science, history, and philosophy in Salem Woods. Rain or shine, but we can't operate in snow due to trail conditions.

It was average, a little awkward, but a lot of good information. Please wear your walking shoes for this tour.

it was truly breathtaking! This isn’t a tour about the Salem Witch Trials, but rather a tour through the Salem woods as we discover mushrooms and plants within the woods and their uses. You will truly learn what it means to be a witch! If you are into learning and love witchy things, this is a tour for you! My friends and I dressed up as Over the Garden Wall characters (if you know, you know) and it was such a vibe during our 3:00 tour when the sun the shining on the golden trees

This tour is an amazing change of pace, from the craziness of Essex street. Great to spend time with nature, learn about plants and their properties. The forest is beautiful and Euni is very knowledgeable and gives a fantastic experience. Blessed be the mushroom witch.
