8/05/16- Foraging and Wild Food Walk
This foraging walk is designed to familiarise yourself with a wide range of common edible plants, their uses as food and medicine, and how to differentiate them from potential poisonous lookalikes. Spring is a great time to forage as plants are sending up succulent and nutritious new growth. You will also lean how to forage legally, ethically and mindfully, with sustainable consumption as a key goal.Typically we would cover up to 30 edible species of plant in the 2-3 hours, also there is a possibility of the odd edible spring fungi also. Attendees are encourages to take photos, notes and samples to aid their learning.
