Free Wild Edible Plant Hike in Great Barrington03:05PM / Wednesday, June 04, 2025 | |
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Join Russ Cohen, author of the book "Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten," and Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) for a 3-hour hike in the BNRC's Alford Springs Reserve on Sunday, June 8, from 3:00 to 6:00 PM.
Participants will learn about at least two dozen species of edible wild plants. Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with info on edible portion(s), season(s) of availability and preparation methods, as well as general guidelines for safe, ethical, and environmentally-responsible foraging.
Be Advised: The planned loop for the hike is somewhat strenuous, with substantial elevation gain and loss, so this walk is recommended only for fit participants with the proper hiking gear.
