This location offers a wonderful mix of species commonly found in old woodlands as well as grassland species. The route will take us around the park and woods where you’ll learn to confidently identify some common edibles, understand the ecological roles of plants and fungi in woodland systems, and talk through key features for identification.I will also introduce you to some ideas from Embodied Foraging — a sensory approach to nature connection that invites you to notice how we move through the woods, what draws our attention, and how we build a relationship with place through more than just facts and species lists.Research into Foraging:This walk is part of my research into foraging and will be exploring themes of nature connection.

Foraging for mushrooms, you will learn to slow down, to connect with the forest and understand how species connect with each other. Learn how the mycorrhizal species help the trees to gather nutrients and support each other, how the saprotrophic species break down dead matter in a way that no other thing in nature can do. The format of a forage course is to liven your palate with a sample or a few of gins made from wild ingredients, gaultheria or sloe or pinecone and many more. Tastes to blow your mind. Then, staffs in hand, a forage walk/ A slow paced wander through the woods, learning about the fungi we find and collecting some in our baskets for the fry up at the end where we get to taste the treats we find. A forage walk is overflowing with wellbeing and mindfulness and is a welcome break from our busy lives." } ] } ] ```
