Riki Bennett and Rewi Spraggon are hosting a Urban Forage event as part of American Express Restaraunt Month's 5th annual Wine and Food Celebration happening in the city. OnSaturday the 18th of August they’ll be taking people on a guided walk to find different types of edible things in the environment around us. Then you get to eat it. Given we’ve been talking about land this week and our relationship to it, I thought this also fit in terms of how we operate in the environment around us and how we consume things sustainably. Riki Bennett is a park ranger with the Auckland Council of Te Arawa and Ngati Porou descent. He was raised on the shores of Lake Rotoiti. He runs guided walks looking at the forest environment from a traditional perspective and how Māori people used the forest for food and medicinal purposes or rongoa. Lillian Hanly spoke with Riki to find out more about the event, and started by asking what they actually do on the day.
