Have you ever wondered which wild plants are edible? How about which ones are nutritious and taste good? If so, then you should attend the Wild Food Weekend. You'll learn about edible, medicinal, and otherwise useful plants from around the region of Northern New England and the surrounding states and provinces. Participants will gather, process, and eat different varieties of wild foods from the fields and forests of northern Maine. We will spend our time gathering and preparing, as well as identifying and pressing plants. Unlike plant walks where we identify plants and talk about their uses, this experience will concentrate on actually gathering, processing, and eating. Our small group size will prevent us from overharvesting, as well as allow us to cover a lot of ground. Participants can expect to get wet digging cattail roots and gathering freshwater mussels, pick berries, process seeds, and more. Down-time will be spent swimming and canoeing in the Aroostook river. We will not be hunting or trapping any game, but those with an interest in fishing are encouraged to bring their fishing gear and a ME fishing license.
