For traditional people around the world, food is a defining feature of their culture and is incorporated into their collecting tools, containers, songs, and rituals. Wild plants can also offer healthful variety in our modern diets, providing unique flavors and textures to liven up our snacks and meals. See how wonderful it feels to gather your own food. We begin with a discussion of some protective benefits of wild foods and then take off on a relatively easy walk, identifying and gathering various late spring wild edibles. Learn about seasonal differences and preparation techniques for different plant parts. Bring a bag lunch, insect repellent, and a hand lens if you have one.
