Foraging Walk with Planet Southbank

Fully Booked - look out for future events from next spring on Live Well York What's On or Planet Southbank website.

Sunday 15th September (2pm) - Information for signing up for tickets for the next walk will be available via Rowntree Park website https://rowntreepark.org.uk/events/booking/

Together with local forager Carl Wain, York Cares and  Planet South Bank is delighted to announce a series of foraging walks this spring and summer and into the Autumn. As the seasons change so do the plants and those that are available to eat, so having the opportunity to walk through the seasons is a great way to get closer to nature.

The walks will take place on the last Sunday of each month at 2pm (except for our last event on 15th September at Rowntrees Park): We already had a full booking for our first foraging walk at the end of March. We had so much to cover we have decided to carry on from where we left off for the April foraging Walk.  In March we covered fom Millenium Bridge to Nun Ings (Nun Ings starts at the first style). In April we did Nun Ings, June we did Millenium Fields and July we did Fulford Ings. . We will also be recording the flora we find so we can start to get a better understanding of our imediate enviroment and if there is any changes in the plant life over the years.

This next foraging walk  will be on Sunday 25th August at 2pm. Meet at the seats by the Millennium Bridge, on the Rowntree Park side of the river. Places are limited to 25 people so that everyone has the opportunity to hear and join in with the discussions. If there are no tickets left, see the dates later in the year (below).

Tickets are entirely free, though if you want to add a donation to cover Planet South Bank's costs that would be very much appreciated.

Dogs welcome, no age restriction - children welcome. Please bear in mind that we will be walking off-path.

The walk will be about one and a half hours. For those that wish to meet up afterwards, we will be going to the Winning Post pub on Bishopthorpe Road (refreshments not funded by Planet South Bank).

Look out on Planet Southbank for future events in 2025 closer to the time.
