Spring Foraging Paddle – Session 1 of Seasonal Foraging

This Saturday, April 6th, join Vaughan Spearman as he leads a foraging tour from Penny Creek Landing (Penny Creek Rd. Ravenel, SC) that covers at least 10 plants found wild or introduced that can provide a significant portion of our diet during this time of year, but are mostly ignored, or seen only as flowers or pest weeds. We’ll make a salad at the end, and we can all enjoy!

$10 fee for adults, free for children under 18 (CAUTION: parents are responsible if your kid eat something they shouldn’t!) A three-hour float down a tributary of the Edisto, from Penny creek Landing (end of penny creek rd.) to Willtown landing (end of Parkers Ferry/Willtown Rd.).

Items you will need: water, sunscreen, a hat, lunch &/or snacks, a salad bowl & fork or chopsticks, edible plants or other field guide, a boat, with paddle & personal flotation device

Optional: a basket or other sizable container for your collection, a knife suitable for food contact, pots for propagating (no more than 2 living plants of each species per household, only common species, only when found in obvious abundance).
