As well as the usual birdsong and wildlife walks, bushcraft and foraging sessions, I have some “green retreats” planned: these will be run by myself and my foraging buddy, Paulo, who many of you may have met by now.
Our last foraging trip was a great success and really enjoyable experience – it was good to
note how many forageables are starting to ripen up for our preserves and pickles! Paulo will
again be joining me for our next Foraging Foray which will be on October 16th. For this we will
leave the Weald Clay and venture up to the drier Greensand of Blackdown where, hopefully,
we will manage to do some more Fungi identification! I really hope you can join us!
I’m happy to announce the date of our next foraging foray and even more so that we will once again be joined by my Mushroom Mentor Paulo! It has been a curious start to Autumn with quite cold temperatures and I have struggled to find much in the way of Fungi but there are a lot berries, seeds and nuts that will be in abundance for a while yet!
Dear Friends, I am delighted to tell you that my good friend Martyn, aka “Batman“, is once again happy to be assisting with walks and
Join nature expert Jonnie Taylor who will lead a beautiful walk around the arboretum before it opens to the public. Saturday 22nd May. Winkworth.
Welcome to another update from Jonnie Taylor – and, as always, thank you for following! One of the most popular sessions that I run is the “Combi” hikes – these really are a combination of walking, natural history, farming, foraging, bushcraft and even a bit of cooking!
I’ve made an alteration to the bird song course meaning that the next session will now be on April 29th NOT the 22nd. This is simply because most of those on Walk Number 1 were unable to make the date of the second walk!!
