Forest To Plate

Forest To Plate Forest To Plate laat je de wondere wereld van wilde eetbare planten en wildplukken zien Forest To Plate zou ook niet bestaan zonder onze focus op educatie.

Het verhaal van Forest To Plate begon in 2015 toen wildplukker en herborist Ben Brumagne de wereld rondreisde op zoek naar eetbare wilde planten, hun geheimen en geschiedenis. Na jarenlange studies en ontmoetingen wilde Ben zijn verwondering delen met anderen. Ondertussen nam hij al ontelbare mensen mee de natuur in, waarvan een groot deel intussen zelfstandig wildplukker is. Ondertussen is Forest

To Plate uitgegroeid tot een gekend collectief van enthousiastelingen die hun tijd liefst in en mét de natuur doorbrengen. We willen mensen met iedere soort achtergrond warm maken om samen met ons de natuur rond hen te ontdekken. Door kennis op te doen van wat het bos ons biedt, onder andere op culinair vlak, willen we bijdragen aan een nieuwe stroom die met respect en bewondering naar onze onmisbare groene leefomgeving kijkt. We organiseren vele events, zowel dagactiviteiten met een introductie in eetbare wilde planten en outdoor koken, als meerdaagse trektochten in binnen- en buitenland. Al onze kennis verzamelden in een uitgebreide jaaropleiding 'Eetbare Wilde Planten'. We bieden deze jaaropleiding zowel fysiek als online aan. De onlineversie is erg toegankelijk voor iedereen en laat je toe om op eigen tempo de kennis te verwerken. Alle leerstof wordt gebundeld op een uitgebreid digitaal leerplatform van Forest To Plate.

Wild food × sailing in Scotland has to be one of our favourite educational adventures. It’s where everything comes together: sailing skills, fishing, group dynamics, wild mushrooms, edible plants and seaweeds, beach bonfires, minke whales, deer, and bioluminescence—all set against some of the wildest and most beautiful landscapes imaginable.

A huge thank you to our partners in crime at Sail Britain and to the incredible crew who made it all happen. And of course, thanks to our amazing participants for bringing such great energy to the journey. We hope to see you all again next year!

In recent years, we have experienced a growing pattern: severe flooding on one side, prolonged drought and large-scale wildfires on the other.

At first, these seem like opposing problems. But often, they are connected by one deeper question:

How do we treat our landscapes and natural systems?

A healthy ecosystem works like a sponge. Forests, soils, wetlands and rivers absorb, store and slowly release water. When we drain wetlands, straighten rivers, remove natural buffers and simplify ecosystems, we weaken nature’s ability to protect itself — and us.

Climate change plays a role in the conditions that allow wildfires to spread, but the story does not end there. The way we manage our land matters too.

A healthy forest is not simply a collection of trees. It is a living network of trees, plants, fungi, insects and animals. Diversity creates balance, recovery and resilience.

Fire itself is not always destructive. In many ecosystems, fire is part of a natural cycle — returning nutrients to the soil, clearing old biomass and creating space for new life. Yet wildfires remain a tragedy. Behind every fire are people who lose their homes, animals that suffer and communities that are deeply affected.

That is why we must learn from what is happening. Instead of searching for one single cause, we need a broader approach: restoring ecosystems, managing landscapes wisely and rebuilding our connection with nature.

Perhaps we have never known more about nature, while being more disconnected from it than ever before.

We experience forests through screens and statistics, but forget the power of simply walking through them, standing beside a river, or sitting beneath an ancient tree.

Because an old oak is never just a tree. It is a living world — a home for insects, birds, fungi and countless organisms connected through an invisible network of life.

Those who truly want to protect nature must not only study it…

They must learn to know it, experience it and love it again.

"In the end, we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught."
— Baba Dioum

Feeling deeply blessed in the heart of the French Alps during our 7-day wild plant adventure 🌿✨

Guided by plant specialist Froya | wild plant lady , we’re discovering the ancient wisdom of carefully foraging wild herbs and transforming them into the most incredible, nourishing meals.

For generations, these plants were part of everyday life — used not only for their flavors, but also for their healing properties and connection to the land. Today, only a few people still carry this knowledge forward.

It’s time to reconnect with nature — mindfully, respectfully, and responsibly. 🌱

To learn from the land is to remember where we come from.
