Imagine having the knowledge to safely find food in any natural spot around the city or in any forest. Your front lawn will never look the same, and a walk in the park may have you adding incredibly healthy and tasty wild edibles to your evening salad on a regular basis. This class will change how and what you eat, and how you see the living world you walk past every day. It is an introduction to the local wild edibles of the area aiming to start a relationship with the native (and non-native) plants under our noses every day, and how they can be utilized and taken care of to our mutual benefit. The class begins to explore how we can wild-craft and harvest right here in the city, as well as abroad. Local hazards, poisonous look-alikes, field guide use, harvesting, and preparing various local plants will all be covered as part of the weekend. Time will be spent both in the classroom setting, and out in the field learning, gathering, and eating wild edibles.
