Autumn foraging courses at Shenley Wood, Milton Keynes.

Sat 12 Sep, Sun 27 Sep, Sun 18 Oct
Adults £65, under 16’s £32.50 & under 12’s free!
Start time 1200, finish time 1530 but this course could run over a little. Shenley Wood Milton Keynes Buckinghamshire MK5 6AA These courses will take place in Shenley Wood, a semi-natural ancient woodland mostly consists of Ash, Oak and Hazel. During the Autumn months we expect to find a range of edible mushrooms. Located on the outskirts of Milton Keynes, these courses are within easy reach of Northampton, Luton, Buckingham and Watford to name a few. Our Foraging Courses begin with a short introduction to Wild Food UK, what to expect from your day and a brief summary of the general countryside codes, including our Foraging Code. Heading off at a leisurely pace around the grounds, your instructor will teach you how to safely identify the different species of edible and poisonous plants and mushrooms that you discover. This exploration will take about 2.5hrs, during which we’ll take a break for a homemade refreshment, such as our Wild Sorrel Soup or Elderflower Champagne! After the walk we will end the day with a tasty wild food meal. This will include a selection of foraged homemade treats created by your instructor, and a dish made with what we have collected during the walk. All of our food is seasonal, so what you are served depends on what is growing at that time of year. In Spring we will be making use of the fresh wild greens and in Autumn, the array of tasty wild mushrooms that the area has to offer. You will receive a comprehensive set of Wild Food UK ‘Course Notes’ a few days after your course. This email will contain links and articles relating to the plants and mushrooms we discovered or discussed during the day... READ MORE>
