Illinois Extension Family and Consumer Sciences and Natural Resources, Environment, and Energy departments bring to you a seasonal beginner foraging course.
Each session will have three parts:
- Classroom-style presentation (1 hr): foraged food safety, laws and regulations, storage, preservation, and identification of common foraged species.
- Field experience (1.5 hr): Hike with Master Naturalist Chandler Womack and Educator Karla Griesbaum to explore edible wild food, how to harvest, and ethical practices.
- Cooking class (1.5 hr): Use common foraged foods to create some delicious and healthy recipes with Educator Rachel Mannen, then have a communal lunch with our delicious meal.
Sign up for all sessions or pick individual sessions. Each session is $30 per person.
