Foraging Tour with Sean Rowe May 6
Mon May 6, 2024 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM EDT
John B. Staalesen Vanderheyden Preserve, 12180
Description
Wild edible flora and mushrooms are all around us and often go overlooked as food. The springtime is an excellent time to get to know your plant and fungi neighbors!
Sean Rowe, Singer-songwriter and passionate forager/wild food enthusiast is your guide on this walk to discover the edible abundance within your local land base. The focus will be on proper technique to safely Identify, harvest and process some of the local flora and fungi that will be found within the spring season of the northeast.
Additional areas of focus will cover:
- poisonous plants and “look- a -likes”
- historical use
- nutritional value
Wear comfortable walking shoes, noting that the trail is dirt and may be wet. Bring a basket or bag and, if desired, gloves (in case you harvest stinging nettle) and scissors.
