Getting closer to nature, one bite at a time
The best foraging tours in the NY Tri-state region and beyond
Preserve, Respect, Nourish
I teach adults and kids about the many common, overlooked, renewable wild edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms that people often destroy as “weeds.” By studying foraging and participating in nature in this non-destructive manner, we can increase our enjoyment of nature, grow healthier, and reaffirm our commitment to preserving and rebuilding our ecological riches. It’s especially important for kids to have such experiences, and my 17-year old foraging expert daughter, Violet Brill, often co-leads my tours.
Our Tours
The purpose of this hands-on program is to learn about the environment and get back in touch with nature. By studying foraging and nature, we enjoy our renewable resources and reaffirm our commitment to preserving and rebuilding our ecological riches.
More info about the toursI have been going to "Wildman" Steve Brill's forages since the 1980's and have found them to be very informative and fun. His insights to the history of wild food and its practical medical and recipe applications have inspired me and my students to live a healthier lifestyle.
