Winter Plant and Fungi Walk

Name: Winter Plant and Fungi Walk
Start: 2026-01-17T12:30:00+00:00
End: 2026-01-17T15:30:00+00:00
Location: London

A walk in a Central London Park to celebrate the abundance of Winter.

We'll be moving slowly, identifying plants and fungi, sharing their stories, and speaking about the broader themes surrounding foraging.

We might chat about:

"How to look" for plants/mushrooms. Sometimes it’s the small details that distinguish an edible species from a toxic one. We’ll speak about plant and fungal morphology, focusing on a few key families.
The ecological roles of plants/fungi that we are looking at.
Foragers’ storytelling, including folklore, tradition, and famous plants and fungi from history.
Medicinal herbs and fungi. This includes traditional medicinal uses, current clinical trials, and recipes for how to make your own remedies at home.
Flavour profiles and recipes.
Foraging laws and rights.
Sustainable foraging practises, how to assess and mediate your impact on the local ecology, amidst broader discussions of where foraging sits in conversations about sustainability.
The relationship between foraging and land politics.
The importance of urban green spaces and what we can do to advocate for them.
There will also be space for quiet, mindful appreciation of the land.
Rights For Weeds will provide wild snacks and hot drinks.
Please read all of the terms and conditions fully before booking. The location listed on this page is a placeholder. Information about the location and accessibility is listed in the terms and conditions.
If you have any questions, get in touch with @rightsforweeds. We'd be happy to chat to you.
