Turning wild weeds into edible meals: Rewilding expert, Nikki Brighton, in Scottburgh for WildED walk-and-talk fundraiser 🌿
Weeds have long been considered a nuisance, growing in pavements, unkempt hedges, and beautifully manicured gardens. Nikki Brighton, will be sharing her fascinating insights at the WildED Africa fundraiser talk at Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh on 08 & 09 May, changing views, diets, and connections with the natural world.
🪻Plant Abundance Walk-and-Talk Fundraiser
1. 🌿🌿 Rewilding Talk 🌿🌿
Date: Thursday, 8 May
Time: 5pm
Venue: WildED Learner Hub, Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh
Cost: R150pp (snacks included)
Rewilding is about letting nature take care of itself, enabling natural processes, repairing damaged ecosystems and restoring degraded landscapes. Nikki believes in the need to start looking at other places to find wildness – to allow the natural rhythms of our world to create wilder, more biodiverse habitats.
2. 🌿🌿 Foraging Walk 🌿🌿
Date, Friday 9 May
Time: 8.30am
Venue: WildED Learner Hub, Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh
Cost: R300pp
There is free food growing in the cracks in pavements, along the verges outside suburban homes, on street corners and unkempt edges in parking lots. Once you start looking, it’s astonishing how much nutrient-dense food is available all around us. During Nikki’s workshop, visitors learn to identify uncultivated food (aka weeds) and surprise the palate while foraging.
