SUMMARY:Fred Elser First Sunday Science: Foraging with the "Wildman"
DESCRIPTION:“Wildman” Steve Brill\, America’s go-to guy for foraging\, will bring some of the best wild foods of early summer to the Bruce Museum Seaside Center for the public to learn about and try from 2:00–2:30 pm. This will be followed by a foraging tour of Greenwich Point Park from 2:30–3:00 pm. The event will conclude with a book signing. \nThis is an excellent time for berries. This is a great time for berries. We could taste juneberries and mulberries\, both delicious and unavailable commercially. \nMost roots are out of season\, but burdock\, an expensive detoxifying herb sold in health food stores\, is an exception\, and it abounds in human-disturbed areas throughout our region. Instead of brewing it as a\ntea\, it’s so abundant\, you can cook it like potatoes\, or even marinate and slow-bake its slices\, to make the “Wildman’s” Vegan Beef Jerky! \nSassafras root\, the original source of root beer\, stays in season all year. You can use the roots of this renewable tree to make tea and root beer\, or as an exotic cinnamon-like seasoning. \nThere are plenty of summer herbs and greens in season. We may look at mugwort and motherwort\, both tonics for the female reproductive system. Since “Wildman” learned these herbs\, he’s never suffered a monthly cramp! \nWe may get to taste Asiatic dayflower\, lady’s thumb\, lamb’s quarters\, and purslane\, all great for salads\, sandwiches\, soups\, and stews. \nWith lots of rain beforehand and a bit of luck\, gourmet oyster mushrooms\, chicken mushrooms\, chanterelles\, boletes\, and russulas may be emerging\, and you’ll get to collect whatever has come up. \nThis program is free of charge. No beach pass is required if you are attending the Fred Elser First Sunday Science. Please let them know at the gate you are attending the Bruce Museum Seaside Center lecture. First Sunday Science programs take place at the Floren Family Environmental Center at Innis Arden Cottage\, Greenwich Point Park\, Old Greenwich\, CT.
