Wild Food

An invitation to reconnect with nature


Come and spend the day

meandering through Dorset’s hedgerows
and woodland


foraging for ingredients that we will then prepare,
cook and add to dishes
served up for a feast back at the foresters hut in the woods.



 

 

 

 

 


 

 
 
The walk will be guided by Lucie Cowles who works professionally in the
countryside and has foraged for many years both in the UK and Europe. She
has a vast amount of experience enthusiasm and passion for the countryside
and good food. Lucie was taught at an early age by her mother what to glean
for free from the countryside and currently works in many of Dorset’s most
remote & beautiful locations on conservation & restoration projects, as well as
being involved in Foraging.
Lucie endeavours to get people out in to the natural environment and reconnect
with the land, to feel the physical and emotional health benefits
associated with the great outdoors. She aims to teach people the pleasure of
foraging and encourages you to seek out ingredients that are freely available
and will enhance the dishes you would cook at home.
