THE MYTHICAL
FORAGER

Join professional forager Dan Moar and Ecologist/Storyteller Max Henderson for a fantastic day exploring our bountiful countryside and landmarks around Ty Canol nature reserve, over the course of 4 hours.

​

This popular experience is packed full of captivating local history, folklore, legends and wild ingredients that can be used in witchcraft, herbalism, crafts, as food and/or medicine. The day will begin with meeting your guides at a specially selected, pre-determined time and location, which you will be told upon booking. Once the introductions are out of the way, you will be taught where to find, safely identify and sustainably harvest your own magical wild ingredients, including plants, nuts, seeds, berries, fruits, roots and drupes, while learning the folk stories attached to the species.

​

You will cover the following topics:

Wild Edibles & Deadables - Identification Tips  

Sustainable Foraging - Habitat Identification - The Law & Foraging

Culinary & Medicinal Uses - History & Folklore

Tree & Plant Leaves, Flowers, Nuts, Seeds, Saps, Fruits, Drupes, Roots, Fungi and much more...

​

The session timings are flexible and can be tailored to your requirements. However, they often run from 11:00 - 15:00. Please let us know your desired dates during the booking process.

Gift Vouchers are available for this experience.

Available as a standard or private experience
