As much as we love your furry friends, they unfortunately do not love foraging! We do not allow dogs on our walks due to them getting frustrated with standing still, slow walking speeds and not getting the true attention they deserve. There are also dangers of them eating poisonous plants and fungi that we are waving around and making look extremely interesting. For the sake of your own sanity and the safety of your fur babies we recommend you leave your pooches at home.

We recommend a minimum age of 16 on our courses as we do talk about very complex scientific topics, touch on adult situations (such as illicit drug use through history) and we all handle extremely toxic and deadly specimens while out. If you think your child will absolutely love the course and are mature enough please get in contact and we can assess case-by-case but otherwise check out our brand-new family-friendly foraging courses!

We head off into the wilderness of the forests and hedgerows where it is unfortunately not accessible with steep hills, rocky ground and wayward roots. Please do get in contact with us if you have any accessibility needs and we can see what we can do and if we have sites that are more suitable.

Due to the size of Auna (the sauna) we are limited to a maximum number of 8 people. This means that we can communicate effectively with everybody, all the foragers can see and hear the important information and there is the least amount of impact on the environments we are foraging in. It is a more intimate day with everyone having time to use the sauna and facilities as they like.

Please be aware we need a minimum of 4 people to go ahead with the experience day. It the unlikely event we need to reschedule, someone will be in touch with you the week before.

• Sturdy shoes for walking through the hedgerows and woodlands.

• A basket or bag for collecting your goodies.

• Swimsuit.

• Two towels (one to sit on in the sauna, one for drying off)

• Flipflops or sliders for in between the sauna sessions.
