The walk will start at approximately 10.15am after everyone has been registered and emergency contact details/dietary information is double-checked.
We will walk along towards Pontamman, spotting and identifying different seasonal plants along the way, while discussing ethical foraging principles, toxic lookalike plants, ID resources and how to harvest sustainably. The walk will be approximately 1 hour, depending on the group dynamic and availability of seasonal plants.
We will then walk back towards our starting point where there is a clearing to set up a fire pit, camp-fire and cooking equipment. We will prepare a simple recipe using our foraged plants.
The workshop will finish at approximately 1pm, back at the car park, you will be able to take away any spare plants we have foraged and some recipe suggestions/ID resources to cook with them at home.
