Introduction
Craig has a lifelong passion for the coast, its inhabitants and conservation, and has offered his coastal foraging courses since October 2017. Craig also frequently appears on television as well as running his own YouTube Channel, which has almost 100,000 subscribers.
Your experience starts with a meet and greet for around 20 minutes, discussing how the tides work, coastal safety, getting to know customers aspirations for the day.
Next up you'll travel to foraging locations and learning about wild food, the coastal environment, wildlife, history, and geology.
Your experience will end with setting down in a sheltered cove and cook your findings, this will also give you the chance to ask Craig any final questions before the session ends.
