Kickstart your foraging journey & walk the wild food trail.
Join our monthly workshops online, with James & Lea from Woodland Classroom.
Enjoy finding, harvesting and cooking with wild food with the very best of the winter season during our online workshop. You might think that there’s no wild food to be found during the dark and cold month of winter, but you’d be wrong. Wild greens, fresh fungi and sugary syrup can all be foraged. Learn what to look for, where to look and what to do with it in the kitchen.
Our online foraging workshops started in the first lockdown and have continued to be a hit ever since, as people want to learn how to make tasty meals from the wild plants around them. Each month we host online workshops with a whole host of nature-based subjects including foraging, tree lore, woodcraft skills and wild medicine.
In this workshop you will learn about common edible plants you can find in December, January and February. You will also get foraging tips from Special Guest Speakers from the world of wild food, bushcraft and outdoor cooking.
We will also unlock the secrets behind one of winter’s hidden secrets; Birch Sap Syrup. Learn how to tap a tree and make your own sticky, sweet syrup.
A ticket costs just £11 per household. These events are selling quickly, so grab your place whilst you can 🙂 Everyone has loved these workshops so far and they’ve been really popular.
YOUR WORKSHOP INCLUDES:
* Seasonal Wild Food Plant Identification
* Foraging Do’s & Don’ts
* How to Tap Birch Trees for Syrup
