Na de lezing is er gelegenheid om vragen te stellen en je exemplaar van Het Bomenboek te laten signeren.

This time, we’re bringing our entire community together for a warm and unforgettable evening in nature.

Forest To Plate will take you to Neerhof, an organic farm just a few kilometers from the center of Brussels.

During the event, you’re free to explore the farm at your own pace, and children can have a great time enjoying the playground or visiting the many animals.

6-Day Wild Food Italian Alps

Under the guidance of an experienced foraging guide, we will spend a week in the Italian Alps, searching for wild edible plants and mushrooms. Think of waterfalls, hiking through different ecosystems as we walk up and down the mountains, a stay in a small chalet in the middle of nowhere and Italian mountain culture and cuisine. The perfect opportunity to go completely back to basics. Italy is one of the best known mushroom countries, deeply rooted in the local culture and boasting an extensive and longstanding tradition of foraging.
