Wild Food UK is putting on two introductory courses in Bute Park to teach people how to forage for edible wild plants and mushrooms.

The foraging walks take place on 3 and 4 November and will introduce people to the laws and codes of picking wild food and how to identify edible fungi and fruits. The walks will be led by Marlow Renton and Eric Biggane who set up Wild Food UK this year and have been foraging since childhood.

Marlow says it is an important skill as it gives you a walk in the countryside, improves your diet and saves money on your food bill.

The most important thing to remember, says Marlow, is “If you don’t know what it is, don’t eat it.”

Wild Food UK is also holding foraging walks in Croyden in November
