About

Take a journey through the season and the senses on this wild food foraging course in the heart of a beautiful West Yorkshire woodland. This course includes:
- An introduction to safe and sustainable wild food foraging
- How to identify a range of seasonal edible plants and fungi found in the wild with confidence
- Methods of preparation and cooking 
- The nutritional & medicinal benefits of the wild food we find
- Plant lore and folk tales
- Lots of tasty food and drink samples. Our tutors will invite you to engage all of your senses as they offer you tasters along the way.

During the course, we will also light our campfire using an ancient firelighting technique and cook up some of our wild finds over the flames.
