Community Nature Night (May): Practical Ecology of Friction Fire

The Pine Project

Community Nature Nights are free, open invitation workshops intended to inspire curiosity, learning, and connection.

Stan Wadlow Park

Join Wolfgang to explore the relationship between the local ecology and the keys to success in making friction fires. We will go on a short walk to find various types of materials that can help with bow-drill and hand-drill fire making, and get a chance to explore identification tips and general principles. We will also have time to try a variety of friction fire methods and gain experience in working with various plants. All experience levels are welcome. Suggested: Bring any existing pieces of friction fire kits you may have - let’s work with what you have! Materials will also be provided.&nbsp; *We'll be meeting at Stan Wadlow Park, 43°41'58.4"N 79°18'43.5"W (Toronto). Please refer to the coordinates for directions as using Google maps often takes you to the wrong place. There is access to a Portapotty. Feel welcome to bring water, sunscreen and your own nut-free snacks. Pine's Community Nature Nights are free, open invitation workshops intended to inspire curiosity, learning, and connection. Each month, experienced mentors create a space for community members to grow their naturalist knowledge, tackle new outdoor skills, and explore mentoring techniques that support nature connection. Gatherings vary in theme and location (in-person and online) to create opportunities for more people to engage in nature connection. While gatherings are geared towards adults, all ages who feel able to respectfully engage with a given theme are welcome (those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Join us to learn, laugh, and build connections with our human and more-than-human community!
