About this Event
Seashore Forage
Join expert forager Monica 'Mo' Wilde on a seaweed forage off the coast of East Lothian and discover what secrets and delights our ocean and coast has to offer.
An ‘edible seashore’ foray to discover how to identify, harvest and prepare nutritious edible seaweeds. There is a wonderful feast of seaweeds off our shores and this part of Earrach after the Spring Equinox is ‘seaweed spring’ when they are at their tastiest and most succulent.
Wear warm clothes, it will be cold. Importantly wear suitable waterproof, non-slip footwear (e.g. wellies), you will be on slippery rocks and in rock pools at times and will get wet feet. Please bring a snack with a hot drink too.
Please note: This course is not suitable for dogs to accompany their owners.
“I came away in awe of how many ways in which seaweed can be used, stored and preserved and how important it was for health. I would highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in wild food. Still feeling inspired 2 weeks after :)” ~ Seaweed Forage Participant, 2023
