Take a stroll around Wooders and discover several species of plants that can be used for medicinal purposes, food and other uses such as cordage. Learn about the nutritional values of wild food and their historical uses. You’ll also learn how to harvest safely, the principles of sustainable foraging, and the laws on gathering wild food.
