Thetford Forest Spring Foraging Course

We’re excited to be running our first ever Spring courses in Suffolk, by kind permission of the Forestry Commission. We’ll be meeting at St Helen’s Picnic Site at 12pm for a short introduction on what to look for and a brief of the general countryside codes, where they relate to foragers. After the talk we’ll set off for a 2-3 hour walk around the area identifying the different edible and poisonous Spring shoots, plants, flowers and mushrooms that we find. There will be breaks along the way for some homemade refreshments such as our lovely hogweed and wild garlic soup. We will finish the day off with a tasty wild food lunch based on what we have found. This will include some treats made from our recent finds, a wild salad that we will pick on the day and possibly even some wild garlic pesto. After the walk we will email you details of all the plants and mushrooms we find to help you remember what you have learnt. There are limited spaces available so please book your place online here http://www.wildfooduk.com/foraging-trips/suffolk-thetford-forest-spring-foraging-courses/
