Join us  for our first plant walk of the year!

We will be  heading to a wild and  beautiful South Devon beach where our foraging guide Tamara Colchester will be introducing us to the wonderful world of seaweeds. This is a great opportunity to learn how to safely identify and harvest seaweeds, and find out a bit more about their uses as food and medicine, as well as their history and folklore.

The walk will last around 3 hours and for those of you who would like to join us  we will finish with a bring and share lunch.

Location:  East Prawle. 

The location is about 40 minutes drive from Totnes. We will let you know the exact location of where we will be meeting and how to get there after booking, but a car is essential to getting there. We encourage lift shares and can help organise lift shares for those who don't drive. 

Level of walking:

There is a steep walk down to the beach and we will also be walking along rocks and rock pools that can be quite slippery

What to bring:

Shoes that are comfortable and waterproof. We recommend sturdy boots for walking over the rocks. 

Wet weather gear in case of rain as well as plenty of warm layers

Bottle of water and lunch 

You might want to bring a notebook and pen and a basket or plastic bag 

Cost: 

Tickets are sliding scale £15-35

Children are welcome and under 16s can come for free with a paying adult 

If ticket costs are a barrier to you and you would still like to come please drop us a message at hello@radicalplantfolk.com and we can work something out.
