Many of you have joined us again this year, and we're happy to be organizing events with schools, associations, etc., as well as welcoming many people visiting Nova Scotia!

So that participants can remember their experience and the wild foods identified, we've created visual cards, grouping together the 80 most common and popular wild foods.

Each product category includes photos, and a general document will enable you to note those we were able to find and identify, as well as those not photographed.

Many people ask us for reference books on wild plants, and our cards can be an ideal starting point.

The cards will be delivered at each event!

Chaque catégorie de produits comporte les photos , et un document général vous permettra de noter ceux que nous avons pu trouver et identifier, et aussi noter ceux non photographié.

Beaucoup de personnes nous demande des ouvrages de références sur les plantes sauvages, et nos fiches peuvent être un appui idéal pour débuter.

Les fiches seront livrées lors de chaque event !
