*Online* Virtual Foraging Trip
About this Workshop
You’ll learn how to find food in a pinch and where to safely forage on the coast. You’ll learn how to find sustainable edible wild weeds, nutrient rich plants for survival and beach forage super-foods like seaweeds and shellfish. We’ll cover any poisonous plants you should avoid and simple cooking methods for the food you find in this 2 hour video collection.
In addition to the Teachables video content, Robin will host a 1 hr live Zoom session on October 13th, 6-7 pm. The live session will begin with learning about a local edible plant not covered in the online module – wild chamomile! In addition, Robin will demo and briefly go over a few more currently available edible weeds. The final 30 minutes of the session will be an opportunity for questions from participants.
