Wild Food Thanksgiving

Sunday, November 11th at Wilder Waters Community in Canton, Maine, is the 11th annual Wild Food Thanksgiving. 

We bring dishes that include wild food (the more wild food, the better), including meals, breads, soups, snacks, and deserts. People label their food (location, ingredients, etc.) so folks know what is found in each dish. 

This is an event where we celebrate our relationship to wild food with friends and family and loved ones.

Arthur will also be giving a 45-minute talk on the Androscoggin River to kick off our "Rewild the Androscoggin" Wilder Waters Campaign. 

Children are welcome.
