Wetland Steward Bob Richie will share his passion for urban foraging. We’ll start with a quick botany lesson on how to positively identify the plants we’ll be looking for. Then we’ll search out and try some of the fresh and tasty offerings that grow naturally in the area, discussing the practical and medicinal uses of them.
