Foraging workshops at Bracelands campsite.
Our Foraging workshops.
Bracelands Campsite are to host Forage Box on various dates throughout the year with their outstanding “Introduction to Foraging Workshops”
The workshop includes identifying, picking, and tasting a range of wild species that you will find on the day, and lots of sample food and drink items for everyone to get stuck into!
The focus with all of our workshops is on the 4 'F's of Foraging: Fungi, Fruit, Flowers and Foliage.
Here is what you can expect from your foraging workshop:
A circular walking route taking in different growing environments around the site within the wooded boundaries of Bracelands Campsite, nestled within Sherwood Forest. Expect a route of around 1-2km predominantly on footpaths.
A closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager.
A chance to immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours. Small tasters of wild food, drink and preserves - this includes nibbles of freshly picked items straight from the hedgerow. This session will include a wild snack made in advance by our passionate tutor! Whatever you get to try on the day, you will leave fizzing with inspiration!
