Wild Wanders: Urban Foraging Edition
5:00 PM (America/Denver)
Meadowsweet Herbs
Description:
Do you ever wonder what all those plants are growing in the alleys and along the beautiful trails around Missoula? Urban foraging is a great way for beginners to regularly connect and get to know wild edibles and medicinals.

We’ll start this wander at Meadowsweet Herbs where we will talk about the medicinal plants growing out front before we take you on a stroll through nearby alleys and along the river trail to discuss the what, why and the how of urban foraging. You won’t believe how much there is to nibble on out there for the brave forager! *Pro tip: Show up early and pop into Meadowsweet if you aren’t already aquatinted with this local gem of an herb shop!

We'll start off by sharing a bit about who we are and why wild food and medicine is such an important part of our lives before letting the rest of the group introduce themselves. After some brief housekeeping we will start our wander which will be flat and easy. We generally discuss 20-30 different plants and fungi on our wanders and only harvest as a group when populations are abundant enough to support it.
