10:30 a.m. SHARP

2610 N Cannon Drive, Chicago (in front of North Pond restaurant)

Dave Odd, founder of Odd Produce Inc and Eat the Neighborhood public tours, will lead a foraging tour at Lincoln Park, where we will learn about numerous plants and trees that have food and medicinal value. The tour runs between 1.5 - 2 hours, walking through Lincoln Park and identifying at least 50 different edible/medicinal wild plants/mushrooms usually within only a block or two radiuses.

Dave Odd is Chicago's only full-time professional forager. He has been providing foraged local products to Chicago's finest restaurants since 2009. He provides foraging walks and tours of local Chicago neighborhoods and parks to teach people about nature's bounty right in their own backyards.

We will meet in front of North Pond restaurant 2610 N Cannon Dr, Chicago 60614, or the north end of the North Pond. Note that the restaurant is not affiliated with the tour, and no harvesting of plants is allowed on Chicago Park District properties.
