WALK THE WILD FOOD TRAIL & DISCOVER FORAGING
Explore wild plants that you can eat in your local patch. Join us for a guided walk through a range of landscapes on the hunt for the best wild foods that summer has to offer. Gain confidence in foraging and learn how to use these wild plants in your own cooking.
Edible wild plants are often viewed with suspicion and thought to be bitter or tasteless, only to be eaten as a last resort. But to the forager, our woodlands and hedgerows are full of tasty and filling wild food opportunities.
You’ll be taking a half day ramble along the hedgerows on the hunt for “food for free” all set against the backdrop of mixed woodland, wetland and open meadows of Park In The Past, with 120 acres of wild space to explore. Don’t forget to bring your own basket or bag to grab some wild edibles to take home.
YOUR WORKSHOP INCLUDES:
* Take a guided foraging walk through the woods, parkland and meadows
* Gain confidence in identifying a variety of edible plants
* Discover medicinal uses for seasonal wild plants
* Understand where it is safe to forage, avoiding pollutants
* Learn how to forage with a sustainable approach to the habitat
* Understand the law and your rights when foraging
