Foraging and Water
There is plenty of food
growing wild around us. 7,000 years ago, our ancestors started growing their
own food but before that we hunted wild animals and picked wild plants to eat.
It was really important to know what was edible and what was poisonous; it was literally a matter of life or death!
This is an introductory
activity to a very big subject we’ll get you off on the right foot. We’ll be
out in the field looking at identification, discussing preparation and some
tasting.
