Full Day Yorkshire Foraging Experience With Wild Lunch

Fast track your foraging journey with this full day course.

Meet your fellow foragers around 10am and head off for a two mile gentle walk through woodland and grassland stopping regularly to discuss, gather and potentially eat some of the edible goodies you will find along the way. Your foraging walk will take approximately two hours.

The morning session could cover:

• finding and discussing over 20 species common across the UK that have food, medicinal and/or bushcraft purposes. You’ll also be tasting some of the things you find!
• identification skills to safely identify the plants, flowers, fruits and mushrooms you come across.
• foraging laws and principles to ensure you forage safely and responsibly.
• information about poisonous species to avoid, and how to forage in a way that will ensure you always stay safe and can forage in a way that is fun and enjoyable.

After a wild lunch which may include some of the items you have collected during your morning walk you move on to the afternoon session. This could include:

• a practical workshop style session whereby you will forage some wild food and make a snack or preserve for you to take home!
• foraging for non-food uses, such as medicinal uses, and finding natural plant fibres to make your own natural string or rope!
• learning about the amazing life and importance of trees from a foraging perspective.
• the best and right combination of books to use and how to use them.
• You will aim to finish around 4 pm.

The course perhaps obviously has foraging at its heart, but will also immerse you in nature and facilitate a connection to nature that will lead to many physical and mental health benefits.
