Join me for a foraging walk, focusing on the wild plants, edible fungi and their look-a-likes that grow in the early winter. We will look at different mushroom families including the funnels (clitocybe) as well as other winter edibles including jelly ears (Auricularia auricula-judae,) and late nuts, seeds and winter greens. Ambling through the trees and along the lochside we will explore how to make wild food a staple and the benefits of doing so - from the nutritional to the cultural and philosophical. Throughout the morning gather the basic skills required to identify common edibles as well as how to avoid poisonous & inedible lookalikes. We will look at how to store and use these ingredients, as well as how to do so sustainably. The walk should last ~2 hours with the opportunity to stay a little later to ask chat and ask questions. We will meet outside the visitor center, where coffee, meals and snacks are available. Suitable for all ages with children welcome - individual or family tickets. As we will finish by the playpark, this is the ideal loction for keen young foragers. Not easily accessible via public transport (the nearest station is 3 miles away at Linlithgow, about ten minutes by taxi). Under 5s are free to attend, and older child tickets are £5. To purchase these please contact me directly.
