In September we joined Ihe Highlands and Islands flimaie Fesiival in ch'o events - the first Lochaber

Mushrooms iii Edinbur8h- again very well received and auended. Our evaluation forms are completed ai the
end of each workshop so we can gauge the attendees mood, enjoyment, expectation etc. Some of the other
workshops we have planned are a series of 4 foraging workshops with West Highland Herbal, a flower
