Foraging course with DION (Trondheim)

DION would like to invite you to a foraging course!

In the pristine Norwegian forest, there is so much to experience. Despite the fact that we like to explore nature, we do not fully understand the fragility and exciting life of the different ecosystems. Most people have very limited knowledge about mushrooms, edible plants, seaweed, and sustainable harvesting.

Through a lecture and a tour by an expert from Boreal Forest you will increase your knowledge about sustainable and safe foraging. There are two dates you can attend the course. Please sign up only for one of these dates.

The price is 350 NOK (The original course price is 450 NOK, DION will pay 100 NOK for you!).

The number of places is limited: 30 participants, 15 for each course, so hurry up! 

Registration is open until Wednesday (18th of May) at 10am.

4th of June (Saturday) 10.00 – 12.30
