SUMMARY:Summer Reading: Fresh Pond Wild Edibles Walk with Russ Cohen (Main)
DESCRIPTION:Cambridge is home to over 80 species of edible wild plants\, 
 some of which are more nutritious and/or flavorful than their cultivated 
 counterparts. These include native species like Fox Grape and Shagbark 
 Hickory\; non-native weeds like Chicory and Burdock\; and invasive species 
 like Japanese Knotweed and Autumn Olive. Join expert forager Russ Cohen on 
 a 2.5 hour ramble around Fresh Pond to learn about over two dozen species 
 of edible wild plants. Keys to the identification of each species will be 
 provided\, along with info on edible portion(s)\, season(s) of availability 
 and preparation methods\, as well as guidelines for safe\, ethical and 
 environmentally-responsible foraging.  \n\nNOTE that this is an educational 
 walk only: no actual foraging will take place\, as that activity is 
 prohibited with in the Fresh Pond Reservation.\n\nWe will meet at Fresh 
 Pond\, in the main parking lot by the ranger station and water department. 
 \n\n \n\nRuss Cohen is a naturalist and wild foods enthusiast from Weston\, 
 Mass.\, currently in his 52nd year of leading walks and talks about wild 
 edibles. He has led talks for the Massachusetts Audubon Society\, the New 
 England Forestry Foundation\, and The Trustees of Reservations. Russ' 
 foraging book\, Wild Plants I Have Known...and Eaten\, is now in its ninth 
 printing. Russ has taken on the role of Johnny Appleseed for edible native 
 species\, collaborating with land trusts\, cities and towns\, and other 
 groups (including one in Cambridge) to plant plants from his nursery in 
 appropriate places on their properties.
