Urban Foraging: Discover Wild Edibles in City Parks

Urban foraging is a fascinating blend of wilderness skills and city exploration that reveals the abundance of edible plants growing freely in urban environments. Led by expert naturalists, you'll wander through city parks, green spaces, and urban forests to identify, harvest, and learn about wild edibles that have been part of human diets for centuries. This activity transforms ordinary city walks into treasure hunts for nutritious and flavorful ingredients while teaching important lessons about local ecosystems, sustainability, and food security. Participants develop a deeper connection with their surroundings as they learn to spot edible dandelions, wild berries, nuts, medicinal herbs, and seasonal mushrooms that most city dwellers walk past daily without noticing. The experience typically concludes with a tasting session or simple meal preparation using the day's findings, allowing you to experience firsthand the unique flavors of wild-harvested foods while gaining practical knowledge you can use in your own neighborhood.
