Forage with Your SensesLearn to find and identify wild food on a foraging walk
Half day seasonal foraging walks and wild food tasting -
Sunday mornings March 31st, June 2nd, September 15th, 2019 
On these half day spring, summer and autumn foraging walks, you'll learn about edible wild plants that grow freely around us, using all of your senses, then we'll make something you can eat from our harvest.
Just on the outskirts of Brighton & Hove, Stanmer Park (Stanmer from the Anglo-Saxon words ‘stan’ meaning ‘stone’ and ‘mere’ meaning ‘pond’ - so stony pond), is a local nature reserve, and has beautiful woodland walks and extensive open lands. It’s an important species-rich habitat, where you can find an abundance of wild plants to forage for food and medicine. On this seasonal foraging walk you'll: • learn ways to tune in to your senses • get to know plants using all of your senses • meet and identify lots of wild, abundant, local plants that you can eat After the walk, we’ll have a fire where you’ll be able to sample teas made from the wild herbal plants that we find, try a foraged wild green salad, and other tasty wild food that we'll bring along. 
This session is being led by Mike Cutting.
Mike has a wealth of plant knowledge and can also talk about bird song, signs of local animal activity, different trees, and an appreciation of the whole habitat. (NB No dogs please.)
