 Foraging at the Water's Edge

Join Chris Gavin as we explore the cornucopia of wild edible foods that can be encountered at the water's edge on your next paddle. Whether encountering an edible wild mushroom on a stream side log by chance, or gearing-up to head out in your watercraft to gather wild rice, Chris will cover the basics of getting into wild foods that can commonly be encountered while paddling, recommend resources to increase your knowledge and confidence, and answer your questions about how to harvest wild food safely and ethically.
