Foraging Wild Greens (but not mushrooms)

You may not realize it, but there are many delicacies in your own back yard and surrounding woods. Violets, purslane, dock, fiddleheads, dandelions, chickweed, sorrel, garlic mustard, and plantain are just a few tasty treats ready for the picking. Ridgefield Conservation Committee commissioner Erik Keller will teach you how to find delicious wild greens and flowers that make for spectacular salads and other dishes.
