The New York’s Natural Resources 4-H Wild Edibles Curriculum is the primary wild edibles resource for 4-H youth ages 12 and older. In this two-day training, you will receive a required training to use the curriculum and will be equipped as a NYS 4-H Wild Edibles Level 2 Instructor to provide a Level 1 training to your colleagues. The training will cover plant identification, safe and responsible harvesting, and cooking directions. You will learn about state regulations in working with youth on the wild edible topic. You will need to pass an online open-book exam following the training to qualify as an instructor at each level.
