Spring Foraging Walk (2 hours)

Organised by : Cowdray Estate

Connect with nature and understand your landscape on this foraging walk with Cowdray's Forager, George.

On this spring walk you will be guided through some of West Sussex's beautiful countryside in search of wild foods. You will learn about what is edible, and what's not, and how we can protect these habitats for future generations.

On this walk you will be focusing on identification and uses of a range of wild vegetables and herbs as they start getting into full spring. Generally spring is considered the best time to forage for wild greens because the plants are full of the stored sugars used to kick start their growing season. At this time of the year more and more species are emerging as the days grow warmer. George will show you how to forage safely and encourage you to use this knowledge to get a little closer to nature to select the very best flavours the wild part of our countryside has to offer.

Walks will be circular beginning and ending in the Cowdray Farm Shop overflow car park and will last approximately 2 hours. George will vary walk locations around the Estate to give you the best walk which encapsulates the season. Please see the reminder email sent out before the event to get exact start location to your walk.
