 Fun Workshops at The CREST!

 Fall Fungi in the Forest! 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Fall Fungi in the Forest!

We had a wonderful time exploring the forest in search of fungi, appreciating the beautiful fall foliage, and bringing our discoveries to life through mushroom-inspired art!

A special thank-you to local artist Christine Elder for guiding us through mushroom sketching and to Wyatt Stein from Southern Oregon Land Conservancy (SOLC) for helping us learn about and identify the fungi we discovered along the way.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to explore, learn, and create with us. Thank you for making this such a fun and memorable day at the Crest; we are already looking forward to doing it again next fall!

Be sure to follow us on Facebook and/or subscribe to receive The Crest email newsletters and announcements for all our future family-friendly events and activities. 


We’re heading into the woods this fall to see what fungi the Ranch has to discover! Join us for a slow-paced fungi discovery hike around Willow-Witt Ranch, led alongside Wyatt from Southern Oregon Land Conservancy.

We’ll take our time exploring the property, searching for fungi, sharing what we find, and trying our hand at identifying some of our discoveries along the way. Whether you’re a seasoned mushroom enthusiast or simply curious about what’s growing beneath your feet, there’s plenty to discover!

All ages welcome! Come ready to wander, wonder, and get curious! 
This is a free event, but donations to support The CREST are always welcome.

Please note that Willow-Witt Ranch is a working farm that uses Maremma livestock guardian dogs. Because of this, no dogs or pets are allowed at Willow-Witt Ranch.
