The Urban Naturalist
Friendly, practical workshops run by leading naturalists. From wild food-foraging and composting to bird song and insect identification, explore biodiversity on our doorstep.
This month’s Urban Naturalist will be presented by David Winnard (of Discoverthewild.co.uk) one of the most respected foragers and naturalists in the North of England.
In this workshop he will explore the edible, medicinal and poisonous plants and fungi found in the Greater Manchester area. We will learn how to locate and identify them from one and other safely. How to forage sustainably and what laws we need to be aware of.
Looking at between 40 and 50 different species this should prove to be a comprehensive session.
David will also bring along some examples of locally foraged plants and fungi and teach you the art of foraged mocktails, non-alcoholic drinks made from foraged ingredients.
