![]() Wild Food School foraging courses featured on the BBC's flagship countryside programme 'Countryfile' in 2006 when a film crew followed a group of would-be foragers on a guided walk along the banks of the magical River Fowey, and in 2006 WFS initially advised on the Cornwall shoot of C4's series 'The Wild Gourmets'. Marcus Harrison, who runs WFS courses, has led several foraging walks on behalf of Slow Food Cornwall and combined one with a live presentation at the 2006 Port Eliot LitFest with London Chef Skye Gyngell, and ran wild food walks in the 2007 event. Other broadcast spots include items on BBC Radio Cornwall, Gloucester, Solent, Kent, Hereford & Worcester, Westcountry TV and a front page slideshow feature on BBC News Online. The courses have featured in The Times [Body & Soul Section], Food South-West Magazine, and the local Western Morning News while Marcus himself contributes regular article about wild foods to Bushcraft & Survival Skills Magazine and Bushcraft UK Magazine. |

Also out and about Marcus did several guided wild food walks at the 2006 BCUK Moot at Merthyr Mawr in South Wales, and for a couple of years has run guided walks and Masterclasses at the Wilderness Gathering, the annual bushcraft and wilderness skills festival held in Wiltshire. At the BCUK Moot Marcus met up with one of the world's legendary survival skills trainers Mors Kochansky and during an impromptu foraging walk managed to find time to swap some notes on differences between Mors' native Albertan edible wild greens and those of our own country.
