SPRING WILD EDIBLE WALK
SPRING WILD EDIBLE WALK
Friday, May 12 6pm to 7:30pm
For families. Take a walk along our trails to identify and discuss the variety of forest groceries available for harvest around our local landscape. You’ll meet Spice Bush, Ostrich Fern, Mountain Mint, Stinging Nettle, Wild Leek, Trout Lily and others. Learn some of the folklore behind the plants and, as we walk and talk, we’ll discuss proper identification, ethical harvest, growing environment and methods of preparation. On our return, we’ll collect a few dandelions to fry up as bite size fritters and leave with a greater appreciation for the ephemeral beauty of our changing seasons. Fee: $30 per family (up to two adults and two children) or $10 per child, $12 per adult
Pre-registration and payment required either in person, by mail or online at www.essexcountyparks.org/calendar.
