Spring Foraging Walk

A walk in a beautiful community nature reserve in East London.

We'll visit the woodland, pond, herbal medicine garden and mushroom micro-farm. We'll end by preparing some snacks with what we find, and there'll be some wild cakes and ferments to share too.

We'll be moving slowly, identifying plants and fungi, sharing their stories, and speaking about the broader themes surrounding foraging. This walk is designed to be accessible for those with any level of foraging experience.

We might chat about:

"How to look" for plants/mushrooms. This includes teaching basic plant/fungal taxonomy and identification skills, focussing on a few key families.
The ecological roles of plants/fungi that we are looking at, including broader discussions about different ecosystems and how they function.
Traditional plant and mushroom folklore. This might include a few longer stories.
Flavour profiles and recipes for wild foods.
Identifying and appreciating poisonous species.
Traditional medicinal uses of plants and fungi, and how to make basic medicinal preparations.
Foraging laws.
Where foraging sits in conversations about sustainability and land politics.
The importance of urban green spaces and what we can do to advocate for them.
There will also be space for quiet, mindful appreciation of the land.
Rights For Weeds will provide wild snacks and hot drinks.
Please read all of the terms and conditions fully before booking. If you are purchasing a Solidarity or Concession ticket, please read the description fully to make sure it's the right ticket for you.
If you have any questions, get in touch with @rightsforweeds. We'd be happy to chat to you.
