Wild Edible Plants Workshop

Event date and time
July 18, 2015 - 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM

There are many common and uncommon edible plants growing naturally in the north country. Perhaps you may have heard of some of these plants, but weren't sure about eating them. Wild edible plants add a nutritious element to salads, jams, teas, trail snacks and more. Having a better understanding of what is edible and what isn't will enhance your connection to the local environment as well as your survival skills. Come spend a few hours learning how to find, identify and prepare local edible plants both responsibly and safely. You will have the chance to tune in your senses, taste some of the edibles of the forest and maybe take home some new recipes!
