The extensive Baggeridge Country Park in the south west of Staffordshire, offers meadows, hedgerows, mature and new woodland, and waterways to be explored on a foraging course.

​This foraging course walk venue is easy to get to from Dudley, Kidderminster, Stourbridge, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Telford, West Bromwich, Bromsgrove and Redditch. 

When we meet up, we will go through laws and safety points of foraging before heading out to discover the wild food in the area.

​The course includes:
- an overview of foraging laws and safety
- exploration of the local species
- introduction to a number of edible species 
- instruction on how to tell edible species apart from poisonous lookalikes
- information on where to find these species again
- recipe ideas
- wild food treat/s to sample
- digital information sheet after the course

Samples of tasty wild food treats can include soups, pestos, salts, pickles, syrups, cordials, jams, jellies, leathers, vinegars, and preserves, along the way. All are 100% plant/fungi-based or have a 100% plant/fungi-based alternative

Participants must be aged 18 or over - sorry, no children under 18 or babes in arms on this course.

Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on the course. 

Exact meet-up location and further information sent two days before the course date.

Terms and conditions can be found on www.foragingcoursecompany.co.uk

This is an educational course, there is no harvesting during the course. Samples are picked for identification purposes only.

We cannot guarantee what species will be growing on any given course date - this is the nature of foraging. As a rough guide, springtime and summer courses should be predominantly plant focused, with mushrooms sometimes found. Summer courses may also have fruits and flowers to learn about, with some mushrooms. Autumn courses should be more mushroom-focused than spring or summer courses but this is dependant on weather conditions preceding the course.
