Join master forager Nick Spero to learn about the varied wild edibles available in June. Focusing on the Cromwell Valley area, we will sample plants such as spicebush and learn how to prepare native milkweed and American Pokeberry for safe eating. Come along to see how many other tasty and nutritious wild plants can be found in this easy-to-moderate, low-intensity hike. Nibble along the way to learn valuable foraging tips and techniques. We will discuss collection methods and how to prepare our findings for optimal taste and nutrition. To limit our impact on the park, let’s concentrate on learning to identify and sample taste rather than foraging, which may damage an area when too much is taken.Our field trip leader Nick Spero spends his retirement outdoors as an avid hunter and fisherman. Primitive technology has piqued his interest since childhood. Here is a video produced by NPR about Nick.
