Foraging for Wild Edibles on the Seashore Some of the year's lowest tides will occur in March and April, uncovering a variety of edible treasures. Join us on an intertidal foraging excursion on the beach, learn harvesting techniques, and sample salty-sweet ocean delicacies.


Foragers will learn about First Nations' use of shellfish, local marine ecology, species identification and what island wines complement the organic ocean treats.


Afterwards, participants will return to the marine station for a short cooking demonstration and a shellfish themed meal paired with Vancouver Island wines all prepared by Chef Lila Ruzicka.


This class is on Saturday, April 9, from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm at VIU Deep Bay Marine Station. Cost is $125 per person. Phone RDN, Recreation and Parks at 250-248-3252 to pre-register.
