Our walks take you through the seasons into the different habitats at the different times of year our bodies are most naturally drawn to them.
In the autumn, our ancestors would start retreating back into the shelter of the woodland and look to natures larder of starch rich roots, berries high in vitamins, nuts high in fats and protein and the wonderful world of fungi. We will cover different ways of identifying and using the plants, but will also focus on ways to store the harvest to use throughout the winter months, through making sauces, pickles, and drying.
We will cover some basic fungi identification, but for a more in depth fungi experience please consider joining us for one of our fungi weekends.
All of our walks identify the edible plants as well as some of their poisonous ‘lookalikes’. There is always plants to taste and examples of goods that can be made with them, for e.g. sauces, teas. We will discuss other uses of the plants from fire making to primitive artist materials.

Unfortunately we can not allow dogs, except guide dogs, on our walks. We also ask that you please do not leave them in your car as we will be gone some time. Thank you for your cooperation.
Our walks are open to anyone who can meander over uneven ground for up to two miles.
