Foraging Learning Path
I’ve always dreamed of eventually teaching my own foraging workshops. At the moment, I mainly forage alone and have attended a few foraging workshops as a participant rather than a teacher. I absolutely love it and can see it becoming a future career, once I’ve built up enough knowledge and experience.
For those of you who teach foraging, how did you get started? What steps did you take to actually starting to lead walks rather than enjoying foraging as an independent hobby?
I’m also curious about qualifications. Are courses such as the CPD Level 3 Foraging Diploma or the NCFE Level 3 Certificate in Foraging valued within the foraging community? Or is experience and practical knowledge generally more important?
Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts 🍃
