Bayou Vermilion District Hosts Edible Wild Plants Program

If you ever found yourself lost in the wilds could you survive? While most of us don't think that could ever happen the fact that so many people in South Louisiana hunt and fish makes the possibility a very real one.

The Bayou Vermilion District presents a special program this Saturday to teach you some of the basics of foraging for food in the wild. The program will be presented by Mark Suter. Mark is an expert in wild plants with Primitive Texas. His program will be available in a four hour workshop this Saturday.

In addition to teaching you the proper way to determine if a wild plant is safe for human consumption, Suter will also demonstrate different methods of harvesting and preparations of these plants into edible treats that could save your life in the event you ever find yourself lost in the wilds.
