​

This full day aims to introduce individuals to the practice of Foraging. Based in the beautiful South Machars coastal area of Galloway, South West Scotland, the day will consist of a walk along the coast and hedgerows of the local area, followed by an afternoon in the forest around an open fire preparing our foraged finds.

​

We will cover the following topics:

​

• Foraging Fundamentals: Learn to forage sustainably and within the law.

• Foraging Walk: Learn to identify edible, medicinal, and poisonous plants, identify trees and learn tree uses.

• Fire Lighting/Cooking: Learn to light a fire using various different methods and preparing the fire to cook on.

• Natural Cordage: Make string from plant fibres

• Sustainability: Reducing your impact on the natural environment
