Hi! I am starting this group in the hopes of finding some fellow foragers and urban gleaners to go on some outings with out here in Contra Costa and in the East Bay. 

 

We will forage for wild edibles fruits and vegetables, fungi, and wild herbs and greens.  We will research and plan outings for foraging in public lands and parks, untended residential lots, and whatever other fruit we can gain access to without violating good etiquette and ethics.

    Kevin was very knowledgeable and the event was very fun. Can't blame him for the rain, but I do blame him the cool time.
