Taster Foraging At Nesscliffe Woods

A 2-hour session with a foraging expert, including ID work, finding and tasting wild ingredients, and a walk near Shrewsbury.

We like to keep some elements a surprise for the day, but here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop:

• A short introduction regarding the safety and format of the day
• Discussions covering foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette, sustainability and the law
• A circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site. Expect a route of around 2-3km predominantly on footpaths
• A closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager
• A chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours
• Small tasters of wild food, drink and preserves – this includes freshly-picked items straight from the wild
• After the event, you will be sent a follow-up email containing a list of everything we found on the day. This is purely for reference, but we find it helps people do further research in their own time

We look forward to seeing you there.
