\n \nThere's plenty of wild food growing all around
us. In fact\, our ancestors survived through fora
ging for wild food before they started growing the
ir own food 7\,000 years ago. We hunted wild anima
ls and picked wild plants to eat. It was really im
portant to know edible plants and wild mushrooms f
rom poisonous plants and poisonous toadstools\; it
was literally a matter of life or death!

This is a big subject but our activity lea der from Wild North Discovery has been foraging fo r wild food and wild mushrooms in the northeast si nce the early 1980s\, and has a wealth of knowledg e and experience to share. p>\n \n
We’ll
be out in the countryside near Alston\, exploring
the wide range of edible and poisonous plants and
wild mushrooms to be found\, getting plenty of use
ful tips on identification\, discussing preparatio
n and also doing some tasting.
In addition to safe wild food foraging\, you’ll also learn about the legalities of foraging in the coun tryside.
