The perfect way to spend a summers day in the countryside

with expert foragers

Step into the wild and clear the mind with a 2 hour guided nature walk through the beautiful South Downs woodlands learning what the season has to offer. Deep dive into the natural world guided by professional foragers, scientists and herbalists. Learn the myths, folklore, history, medical uses and edibility of common and unusual wild plants, trees, fungi and berries.

The perfect gift for lovers of the outdoors, hiking, nature, and herbalists and foodies. A great Christmas gift for those wanting to start a new hobby or learn more about nature. With events every weekend through the year, they are ideal for birthday surprises!

Plan for the day:

Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time to allow for introductions and get settled. The walk will start with a safety talk and overview where you can have any questions answered before we begin. We will then head out into the South Downs woodlands to bathe in nature and learn about seasonal fungi, plants, berries and trees, learning how to identify them from their toxic lookalikes, their properties, edibility, uses and more.

• Can I bring my dog?

  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.

• What is the age limit?

  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!

• Is it accessible?

  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.

• How big will the group be?

  We like to operate in smaller groups usually 6-12 people. This means that we can communicate effectively with everybody, all the forager’s can see and hear the important information and there is the least amount of impact on the environments we are foraging in.
