Details

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 hand-crafted wild cakes, drinks 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”. Sometimes it’s the small details that distinguish an edible species from a toxic one. We’ll speak about plant morphology, focusing on a few key families.
The ecological roles of the plants/fungi that we are looking at.
Foragers’ storytelling, including folklore, tradition, and famous plants and fungi from history.
Medicinal herbs and fungi. This includes traditional medicinal uses, current clinical trials, and recipes for how to make your own remedies at home.
Flavour profiles and recipes.
Foraging laws and rights.
Sustainable foraging practises, how to assess and mediate your impact on the local ecology.
The relationship between foraging 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.
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.
