wild parsnip
So I mentioned that while I was on a birdwatching tour of Prospect Park I ran into a friend taking a foraging for wild edibles tour. I keep thinking about it and figured out who was running the tour. The man’s name, appropriately enough, is “Wildman” Steve Brill.
On her tour, my friend found wild parsnips, sassafras and other edible plants. It was pretty amazing because almost nothing is green or blooming yet.
Here’s a schedule of his classes. I think I’m going to the one on April 18th in Prospect Park.
Oh, yes, I’ve gone on walks with him. He’s great! It’s amazing all the edible plants you can find in the city!
That’s good to know. I think it will be really fascinating.
