Wild Food in the City: Urban Foraging

The Wild Edibles walk is back for another year! This fun and informative plant walk introduces participants to the wonderful, wild and weedy plants growing in the urban environment that can be used as food and medicine. We`ll discuss how to identify wild plants, their edible, medicinal, and other traditional uses as well as proper harvesting & processing practices, methods of preparation, and wildcrafting & foraging ethics. Come out and meet the weeds!
