Workshop in Urban Foraging

New England is home to over 150 species of edible wild plants, some of which are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts, and dozens of species of edible mushrooms. Join Russ Cohen, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, for a 90-minute slide presentation entitled “Edible Wild Plants and Mushrooms of the Greater Boston Area." Russ will present information for each species, identification tips, edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, along with general guidelines for safe and environmentally-responsible foraging. We'll taste some foraged food, and provide info on how to find super-local edibles, even in the city.
