We're pleased to announce our schedule for 2022's foraging season, including an exciting opportunity to work with the National Trust, leading forage walks on the Golden Cap estate.
Leading groups of no more than 10, we'll take you to the woods and fields for a 2.5 hour chat, pick and all around educational experience about all things fungal! With the ethos very much surrounding 'education, not eradication', we'll show you how to safely and responsibly forage, the role of fungi in the surrounding ecology and tips and rules of identification. We won't promise kilos and kilos of mushrooms to take home with you as that's not what we're about, but we promise a wealth of knowledge, lungfuls of fresh air and a great time had by all.
Bookings are on a first come, first served basis. We have the following dates available:
