Scheduled Courses

Scheduled courses are based near Marlborough in Wiltshire and near Dorchester in Dorset. All courses cover safety and legal aspects. Foraging walks locate a range of seasonal wild food and discuss their identification and uses. Participants receive extensive handouts and get access to on-line materials.
