Seaweed Forage

Description

A chance to learn about foraging edible seaweed on the wild East Prawle coast. Learn which are most easily harvested, used and cooked. Go away feeling empowered to provide yourself with tasty and highly nutritious free foods harvested in a sustainable way.

I will guide you to the seaweeds I have been harvesting for years, identify them, harvest sustainably and suggest edible uses. Plus talk about the health benefits of seaweeds. We may look at some edible cliff plants & Autumn berries, time permitting but today’s focus is seaweed.

By booking you confirm that you will come equipped/feel confident to walk on uneven ground, beach and slippery rocks with seaweed on/around rockpools. The best shoes are aqua shoes but not essential, wellies/shoes work. There is the possibility to walk down a channel with sea water in, avoiding the rocks. Is not guaranteed to see everything from there but most seaweeds will be visible. Bring own basket/container/bag, scissors and go away with a harvest!

A free guide containing some of the seaweeds I talk about will be emailed afterwards but it is recommended to take notes and photos.

The event starts on East Prawle Village Green & arriving by 2pm is essential. We will finish on the beach and people can make their own way back after swimming/enjoying the beach.
