New Forest Spring Foraging Course

Our Spring foraging course in the New Forest will start with a talk on the do’s and don’ts of foraging in the Red Shoot Inn folloed by approximately a three hour walk around the forest near the pub.

This course is a simple foraging walk where we hope to be able to identify a selection of Spring shoots and edible plants and flowers, plus hopefully some lovely Spring wild mushrooms.

We will meet at 12pm in the

Red Shoot at Ringwood
Toms Lane
Linwood
Ringwood
Hampshire
BH24 3QT

The course starts there with a 30 minute introduction on what to look for and a brief of the general countryside codes where they relate to foragers.

After a 2 to 3 hour walk around the woods we will go back to the Red Shoot to discuss and taste our finds.

We will email all of you details of all the plants we find to help you remember what you have learnt.

We recommend you bring

• Warm protective clothing and footwear
• Camera
• Note pad/pen

Under 12 year olds can come for free, within reason; but please let us know how many will be coming in advance.
Drinks at the pub are not included.
