PLANNING

Things to consider when deciding to run a forage themed event:

Will the event work within your existing business model?

Are there additional associated costs or can it be managed within existing budget?

How about collaborating with a local business? This could be an ideal time to join forces with a local foraging expert and link in with related crafts.

Decide how you wish to engage with one or more themes: wild foods, nature, crafts, health and wellbeing.

What are your goals...?

• Brand awareness in your locale and beyond? • A healthy profit? • To collaborate and make new contacts? • To raise awareness of the natural /environmental resources in your area. • To engage more with nature at home and work. • To attract new customers with an exciting new ‘wild’ experience or product. • To support the health and wellbeing of your community. • Environmental education.Ensure you make realistic plans, using your local knowledge to your best advantage.
