Knowing how to safely and sustainably forage is one of the oldest skills there is, and one that's been largely lost in modern life.
This one-day workshop will reconnect you with the wild plants growing all around us. You'll learn how to spot, identify and confidently harvest a range of common edibles, alongside developing the kind of attentive eye that turns every walk in the woods into something richer.
You will learn:
Who It's For: Anyone curious about the food growing right under our feet. No prior foraging experience required. For those with some background, this is a great chance to fill in gaps and build confidence with new species.
About this series: The Survivalist Series is an expert-led set of courses designed to develop applicable and life-saving skills in the outdoors. Keep your eyes peeled for more courses on many other topics as they become available.
NB: Foraging comes with its own set of risks. For the purposes of this class, we do not condone the consumption of any wild edibles.
