Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District (PCSWCD) is pleased to present a Wild Edible Foraging Workshop on Saturday June 1st with Maine naturalist and author Tom Seymour. Tom has presented wild plant seminars across the state and we are excited to welcome him to Piscataquis County. Tom will be taking our group on a field trip to the Law Farm, one of PCSWCD’s public lands and finishing at Brown Mill’s Park, both located in Dover-Foxcroft. Tom will walk with participants on the land while identifying and explaining the uses and properties of wild plants in the Maine woods. He will also explain how to use wild plants as substitutes for more familiar vegetables and how these plants add their own unique flavors, textures and aromas to easy-to-prepare meals.
Tom Seymour has written several books on hiking, fishing, birding and foraging wild plants in New England, along with magazine and journal articles featuring his knowledge and passion for the outdoors.
Registration is required for this event and tickets are priced at $20. This workshop will start at 10AM at the Law Farm located on Lee Cemetery Rd in Dover-Foxcroft. Attendees should bring a bagged lunch (or pick your own) and all participants will have the option to explore a second location, Browns Mill’s Park, to discover plants along the shores of the Piscataquis River. You can find more information about Tom Seymour at www.tomseymourmaine.com.
