Many of these species are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated counterparts. Join Russ Cohen, wild foods enthusiast and author of Wild Plants I Have Known...and Eaten, on a guided walk to learn about edible wild plants of Martha's Vineyard. Learn plant identification, seasonal availability, preparation methods, and guidelines for safe and environmentally responsible foraging.
