IN-PERSON WALK

Join commercial harvester and chef Robin Kort for an easy stroll through Stanley Park’s forest and seashore to identify tasty plants, from cattails and native berries to umami rich seaweeds.  We’ll discuss safety information, identification techniques and some simple cooking methods for the food you may find. Robin has been teaching foraging classes for over a decade and would love to meet you to pass on her knowledge.  So, if you love to cook, hike, or are curious about the natural world, this walk is for you!

Note: This is not a harvesting trip – identification only!

This program will follow approved COVID protocols, and attendees must respect these protocols in order to participate in the program.  All participants must pre-register – NO DROP-INS ALLOWED.  To make everyone comfortable, we will encourage distancing and will be keeping numbers low to accommodate this.  This means slightly more expensive ticket prices for this program – but we hope to be able to return to our pre-COVID ticket prices in the future.

This program will meet at the Nature House on Lost Lagoon (located underneath the Lost Lagoon viewing platform near the intersection of Alberni and Chilco Streets).  Please try to arrive at least 15 minutes in advance of the program.

We gratefully acknowledge that the land on which we gather and help steward is the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation, and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Since time immemorial, Coast Salish peoples have lived reciprocally with the land, harvesting and cultivating foods and medicines and practicing ceremony. The abundance of these lands and waters, which enables us to live, work, and play here today, is a result of the past and on-going stewardship and advocacy of the Coast Salish peoples.
