Foraging for Wild Foods: How and Where To Find Edible Plants, Berries, Mushrooms and More & How To Do It Safely

Greg Marley

Maine is rich with wild foods that can be foraged, from berries to mushrooms to seaweed. We’ll learn about what foragers can find in the woods, fields and waters—and how what you find can be prepared for food or medicinal purposes. We will also hear important cautions about safety and avoiding harmful substances.
