Bushfood Treasure Hunt and Food Feast
Event description
Have you ever wondered how native plants, weeds and bush foods can become part of our everyday lives?
Come on a treasure hunt with Bush Naturopath, Nutritionist & Permaculturalist, Felicity Kerslake.
Explore and hunt the local Wiradjuri area for common weeds and bushfoods and learn how these plants are used for food and healing of people and Country.
Walks emphasise respecting the traditions and customs of the Aboriginal people, with talks highlighting the importance of sustainable and safe foraging practices to ensure the continued existence of these precious plants for future generations.
The walk will finish off with a delicious morning tea containing a range of bush foods for people to eat and enjoy over a shared morning tea.
