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.

With all the touristy witchy and witch trial stuff in Salem, this is a welcome break! Uni was well-versed in medicinal and edible plants and fungi. The hike was lovely and outside town giving you a different perspective. Uni also shared what being a witch was all about. We highly recommend this different, interesting, and fun tour!

We had a great time with Euni who shared stories and showed us many of the local plants and fungi!! Our time in the woods was truly magical and we hope to come back and do it again! Thank you Euni!

We had a great time on this walk. We got to learn so much about the different plants you can find and about what it means to be a witch. Also mushrooms are way more fascinating then first thought. Lol
