Notes taken from session talk.
• He co-founded the website 'Selfsufficientish' with brother, this lea to interest from publishers asking him to produce a book. He published his first book in 2008 and has gone on the publish a few more.
• he's presente on various t.v programs.
• He runs foraging programs for children.
• Boy's tend to be more interested in the danger and digging aspect and girls look for food and flowers, Andy's observation.
• Different areas:
Cost - wild food thats easy to find.
Country areas - Harder to find.
You need to forage in different places and the correct time of year.
Urban areas are easier to find as there are more habitats. People grow lots of different types of plants in urban areas so seeds blow around and grow.
You need to know the history of places. e.g if a petrol station used to be there before its dangerous as of remaining oil.
• Kids are very adventurous and absorb the information more. Adults can be more reserved and unwilling.
• If the kids get bored you can set them tasks and fun mini tasks and games to keep them occupied.
• To get them started pick simple things such as berries, garlic an fruit. these are also low risk.
