Events › Foraging 101

We’re so thrilled to bring this exciting opportunity in partnership with Pringle Nature Center. Learning to recognize wild-growing food sources opens up a world of possibilities, including becoming attuned to your local plants and environment, exploring culinary and nutritional diversity, and experiencing the satisfaction of “living off the land.” If you’ve ever been curious about foraging, but lacked the confidence to strike out on your own, now is the time to give it a try!

This hands-on session allows participants to learn the basic tenets of foraging, as well as how to safely identify, gather, and prepare over 50 species of plants that grow in the Midwest. This 3-hour session will include a staff-guided hike for seasonal, wild edibles in Bristol Woods County Park, culminating in a group lunch in which participants will prepare and consume a meal of the day’s harvest. Group lunches will consist primarily of plants gathered in Bristol Woods and prepared by participants during the program. Lunches may be supplemented with seasonings, oils, and/or proteins not gathered in the course of the program.

Registration is required and limited.
