Foraging for FOOD, FIRE and FIBRE

​

The focus on the first part of the day is Foraging for wild FOOD

• Includes Native bushtucker found right here on site in a bushland environment

• Common garden and pasture weeds

• Introduced/ naturalised shrubs.

We begin our learning by embarking on a short foraging walk along the banks of the upper Tweed river and surrounding bushland. The walking component is relatively short, less then 1km…there is lots of stopping and learning along the way.

​

On the walk we'll learn all about;

• A broad range of local and introduced bushfoods

• Toxic/harmful plants and the dangers of incorrect identification

• Sustainable harvesting practise, how to collect plant material from native bushland without having an adverse effect on the environment.

​

After the bushfood walk we'll have a short tea/coffee break (provided) before learning all about the abundance of edible weeds that we have growing in our gardens and pasture.​​​
