Foraging with Wildroots Wood

Drawing on many years working in woodland management, conservation and traditional countryside skills, Wildroots Wood (William Del Tufo) combines practical identification with natural history, folklore and ecology. His walks are suitable for complete beginners through to enthusiastic improvers, with an emphasis on curiosity, careful observation and developing a deeper appreciation of the woodland ecosystem.

At the heart of Wildroots Wood is a simple belief: that spending time in nature can help us reconnect—not only with the woodland around us, but also with ourselves and with one another. “Fungi provide the perfect excuse to slow down, look closely, share discoveries and rediscover the wonder that is so easily overlooked in everyday life.”

About/bio:  William is a naturalist, woodland worker and founder of Wildroots Wood – Foraging Calm, where he leads relaxed, small-group walks exploring the remarkable world of fungi and our relationship with the natural landscape. Above all, William hopes people leave the woods feeling more curious, more connected and with a greater sense of wonder than when they arrived.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• The walk will last approximately 3 hours.
• We'll take things at a relaxed pace with plenty of opportunities to stop, observe and discuss the fungi we find. However, participants should be comfortable walking for around three hours over uneven woodland ground, with the occasional short detour from the main paths.
• Sturdy walking boots or shoes are strongly recommended, as woodland paths can be muddy, uneven and slippery.
• Please bring drinking water, a snack if desired, and any personal medication you may require.
• Dress appropriately for the weather, including waterproofs if rain is forecast.
• All children must be accompanied by an responsible adult and require their own ticket
