Hunt for Black Walnuts in Central Park with "Wildman" Steve Brill

On Sunday, September 25, America's go-to guy for foraging, "Wildman" Steve Brill, will lead one of his world-famous foraging tours of Central Park. 

Thanks to its varied habitats and combination of native and introduced species, this world-famous park overflows with very many species of renewable wild foods in early autumn.

If the weather has been rainy, the mushrooming should be excellent. In past years, they have found hundreds of prized honey mushrooms on both the east and west sides of the park, and they may be back again under similar circumstances. Other great species they may find include chicken mushrooms and hen-of-the-woods, a.k.a. maitake mushrooms.

The 4-hour early fall extravaganze foraging tour of Central Park begins at 11:45 AM, Sunday, September 25, at 103rd St. & Central Park West. The suggested donation is $20/adult, $10/child under 12. Please call (914) 835-2153 at least 24 hours in advance to reserve a place.
