Another aspect of the “Harvest Project” was the very successful foraging walk organised by the Green Home team. The walk was held on Bray Head on the 15th of October and was led by foraging experts Mary and Robert White of Blackstairs Eco Trails. The walk raised awareness about the amount of food that grows wild but that is often disregarded as a food source. Mary and Robert not only helped the group to identify various different edible herbs, berries and mushrooms, they also gave a very interesting insight into the biodiversity on Bray Head. The group were rewarded for their efforts with some of Mary’s blackberry and elderberry crumble made from berries she had foraged earlier in the week and a taste of her sloe gin!
