Teen Foraging Workshop

Calvin Park Branch

For teens. Drop in and learn about food sovereignty, foraging, and sustainability with local forager Sheila Nemcsok.

We are surrounded by a wide variety of wild edible foods in our city. Join Sheila Nemcsok, an avid hobby forager, for some hands-on learning about safely and sustainably identifying, collecting and using wild foods that are locally available and in season. Whether you are interested in improving your food self-sufficiency, expanding your range of culinary ingredients, or just interested in learning more about the plant life in our city, this workshop is for you.

This program was brought to you with the help of the Kingston Youth Climate Council. To get involved with the KYCC, click here
