Join Maplewood locavore Dan Lipow for a wild food foray. This walk on the grounds of Grasmere Park surrounding the Durand-Hedden House is a chance to learn how to identify, harvest, and sample the bounty our local ecosystem has to offer. The event, ongoing from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m., will be guided by seasonally available wild foods. After the harvest return to Dan’s camping kitchen where you will learn how to prepare and enjoy your wild gotten goods.
Things to Bring: Sturdy trail shoes or boots – waterproof is good. No sandals (there may be poison ivy, bugs, and thorns). Clothes you can get dirty in; long pants and long sleeves are also a good idea. Also recommended insect repellent; sun hat or rain gear - as necessary.
