The Center for Urban Ecology is bringing back its Foraging Forests program to guide participants into the world of edible native plants. The one-hour program showcases the different plants found in the Rio Grande Valley that can be used to enhance a meal, make a tasty treat, or infuse an herbal tea. Participants will learn about foraging safety practices, ethical harvesting, and tips on how to harvest plants. Most importantly, participants will learn how to identify edible native plants and what plants parts can be used. “Foraging has become popular again recently, but it is something people have been doing for millennia,” explains naturalist Jessica Santana. “Many of our most common native plants are edible, including well-known ones like honey mesquite bean pods and lesser-known ones like Turk’s Cap fruits.” Come to Quinta Mazatlan to see what’s good in the woods on Wednesday, January 18, for your introduction to foraging. The program runs from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and the program fee is $5 per person, with advance registration preferred via quintamazatlan. ticketleap.com. Quinta Mazatlán is located at 600 Sunset Drive in McAllen, one block south of La Plaza Mall on 10th Street. For more information, contact (956) 681-3370 and follow Quinta Mazatlán on social media.
