Wild Walk: Prestwich Forest Park

Who can come?

This event is open to everyone! Mushroom enthusiasts, nature nerds and people who just like getting outdoors are all welcome. Well-behaved dogs who are kept on a lead when necessary are also very welcome to join.

What is a wild walk?

They’re a  chance for us to learn, connect and enjoy nature together - we explore a  green space at a leisurely pace, pointing out interesting plants or fungi we  come across. Sometimes we’ll talk about wild food and tasty  things you can forage, but this isn’t the primary focus. It’s a space  for us to share our knowledge rather than flaunt it - we’re far from  professional botanists so can’t identify everything and encourage others  to share what they know too!
