Wild Food

Saturday 2nd May saw a good turn-out of people getting off the train at Causeland for our Wild Food Walk.  There were so many useful plants growing actually in the grounds of the station that it took more than half an hour to get moving.  As there were so many plants and so much information it was difficult to keep up with it all. So here is a list of most of the plants we met. Hopefully we can get a separate page set up with pictures and how to use the plants.

St John's Wort, Meadowsweet, Nettle, Dandelion, Pink Purslane, Cleavers, Burdock, Valerian, Wild strawberry, Hogweed, Garlic Mustard / Jack-in-the-Hedge, Sorrell, Bittercress, Ground Elder, Lamb's Lettuce, Ramson/ Wild Garlic, Navelwort, Blackthorn / Sloe, Ground Ivy, Elder, Primrose, Bramble (tips), Yarrow, Thistle.

Some plants to avoid:

Hemlock, Water Dropwort, Dog mercury, Foxglove

Transition North Cornwall presents

ENERGY BEYOND OIL

A talk and presentation by author and energy expert Paul Mobbs

7.00 - 9.00pm
Tuesday 28 October 2008
The Town Hall, Launceston, Cornwall, PL15 7AR

£3.00 voluntary donation

This talk will explain the causes and consequences of the urgent energy crisis we are all facing now and in the coming years and to answers to questions such as:

Why is fuel, energy and food so expensive?
How much energy will have available in the future?
How will we heat our houses and how will we travel?
When will it all happen and how will it affect you & me?
What can we do about it, individually and as local communities?

Paul Mobbs is an independent consultant, excellent and entertaining speaker, researcher and writer on energy, environment and low impact technology. 'Energy Beyond Oil' is a very good guide to the issues of energy consumption in the UK, climate change, peak oil and resource depletion, based on Paul's book of the same name. Paul will outline the scale and complexity of the problems we face, globally as well as within our local communities, as the human species reaches the limits of the Earth's environmental capacity. He will also outline some of the possible actions that you can take to protect yourself and your family from the approaching crisis.

There will be time for discussion/ questions and answer session.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity. It may change your life!
