Foreshore Foraging with Coeur Sauvage at Portencross

These coastal foraging walks will show you the wonders growing in the machair; Scotland's fantastically diverse foreshores.

We will explore many of the edible coastal plants, from halophytes to succulents. Historically, humans have flooded to the seaside in tough times, largely thanks to the `bounteous harvests which can be found there. We will be following in their footsteps and learning how to safely identify the treasure trove of delightful edibles found by the sea.

Walks will take roughly three hours. We will be tasting as we go, but no substantial food will be provided. Please bring your own snacks and water.

Please wear sturdy, waterproof footwear and outdoor clothing. Coastal locations are very exposed; please check the weather beforehand and dress accordingly.
