Join Russ Cohen, expert forager and author of Wild Plants I Have Known…and Eaten, for a 60-minute slide show featuring at least two dozen species of native edible wild plants suitable for adding to your own landscape, or nibbling on as you encounter them in other locales. Keys to the identification of each species will be provided, along with edible portions, seasons of availability and preparation methods, along with guidelines for safe and environmentally responsible foraging.

Russ will also include a few details regarding some native edible plants he has grown successfully from seed, and the partnerships he has made with conservation groups and others to add edible native plants to their landscapes.

When you link to the meeting, please choose to not appear on screen. Also, please mute your phone/computer microphone. Russ’s presentation is what will be visible and heard. His talk will be followed by a question & answer session. Questions must be typed in and the moderator will present the question to Russ for all to hear. Log in anytime between 7:15 pm and 7:30 pm, and you will be let in from the Zoom ‘waiting room’ when the presentation is about to start, at about 7:30 pm.

Russ has shared some handouts related to his talk as well as two recipes for native edibles. Click on the links to download, print, and enjoy!

If you can’t join us tonight, not to worry. Russ’s talk will be recorded and the link will be sent to you next week. This is just one of the many features of membership – we thank you for supporting our efforts.

Enjoy the presentation!
