Foraging course with DION (Trondheim)

Malene / / Events, 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

Dear all,

We would love to go skiing with you, so we would like to organize a course with Trondheims Skiklub! If you are interested, you can find some details here:


1. The weather at the moment makes it difficult to predict when we could do the course. Therefore we ask you to choose one of the indicated dates in the form which you can find at the end of this announcement.
2. The course costs 650 NOK. When we reach 30 people, the price will go down to 600 NOK. The course is unfortunately very expensive for us to take over completely. We would take over 150 NOK per person.
3. One instructor is provided per 6 people and the course lasts 1.5 hours, the equipment is included in the price.


If you have any questions, please contact me. And please share this info with friends and colleagues!
