Hi Emma,

Welcome Emma. No shortage of bushcafters around here. I like a bit of bushcrafting myself but I could see foraging ending badly - I'd prob poison myself :D

That's him. The NIBA will be running events at Carnfunnock in the very near future, with Mouldsy leading the wild plant walks, both for Carnfunnock Park and for the NIBA. We will post up dates etc as we confirm them with Larne Council.

Welcome Emma,

what's the dilemma, beer or mushrooms.

Seriously though I think there is enough room for all here and remember that bunny hugging is fine, but some day the bunny may have to be...... ;)

With my foraging skills we would all go hungry.
