Wild foods
foraging
Wild foods: that's what Hunting and Gathering is all about. This is a journey into Britain's ancient way of life as we attempt to find the food available within the landscape. When we imagine how our ancestors lived, almost certainly it's their Hunter - Gatherer ways that stand out to us. Foraging and gathering plays an equitable role in human existence and has a significant positive impact on the landscape. By learning the ways of the forager we can become more in tune with the seasons and gain a deeper understanding of the natural world as well as our role within it.
