Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island are home to over 100 species of edible wild plants, many of which are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts. Join expert forager Russ Cohen, author of Wild Plants I Have Known...and Eaten, on a three hour ramble to learn about at least two dozen species of edible wild plants. Pending favorable weather conditions, a number of edible mushroom species may be encountered as well. Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with information on edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, as well as guidelines for safe and environmentally responsible foraging.
