Wild food walks are enjoyable, practical, and sometimes life-changing! Whether you are an experienced forager or a complete beginner, a food-lover, or nature enthusiast there is something for everyone, so come and discover the abundance of wild food growing locally and develop skills and confidence to forage on your own.
**Please note, I do not include mushrooms and fungi on the walks



Wild Food Walks

Most walks are a leisurely two hours, with lots of stopping to find the key ways to 100% identify a variety of edible plants. Each walk includes 10 edible plants plus a couple of non-edibles to help highlight potential mistakes. Attending walks at different venues can help to build on your knowledge, to learn about plants in different habitats and enjoy a range of beautiful landscapes and views. Many of the Wild Food Walks include medicinal uses of plants, and some include edible seaweeds, so do check the calendar for the range of walks and venues on offer.
