Sunrise Urchin (Uni) Foraging (Sonoma Coast)

Sun, Jun 14, 12:00 PM
From Bay Area & Beyond Foragers - Mushrooms, Mussels, Urchin Uni
4.9

**\*\*Register [here](https://forms.gle/khFPU5JZiwGxfKi5A), NOT on Meetup:** [https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule)[**](https://www.forkinthepath.org/schedule**) Save Kelp, Eat Urchin! Join us at sunrise for a sea urchin foraging class, where we will help remove some of the overgrown sea urchin population - so we can eat it! We will teach you how to open and enjoy this incredible delicacy. You may have heard it called “uni” in a sushi restaurant, but it’s SO much tastier when it’s fresh. Take home up to 35 urchin - if you can carry that much! Learn how humans can be a helping hand to restore balance to ecosystems impacted by climate change. Class Dates (not a series) * May 17 * May 31 * June 14 Sonoma Coast, California All registrations must be completed on our website [here](https://www.forkinthepath.org/registration-urchin) #### What You Will Learn We're thrilled to bring you to the ocean to forage for sea urchins on the gorgeous Sonoma Coast. This 3-hour class is all about sea urchins or uni, as you may have heard it called in a sushi restaurant. Learn where they live, what they eat, and who eats them...but more specifically, who hasn't been eating them and how that has impacted our kelp forests, and how humans eating them actually lends a helping hand to bringing our intertidal zone back into balance! Take home up to 35 urchins. You'll have a deeper understanding of how some of our ocean habitats are the first major biomes to experience sudden collapse due to a rapidly changing climate, and how we can mitigate the damage. #### **Where** A beach in Northern Sonoma, about 2.5 hours north of San Francisco. Exact location provided with registration. **More Important Details** These programs are very popular and often fill up very quickly. We encourage you to register right away if you'd like to attend! If you are reading this, the class is not full. Space is updated daily. **About Fork In The Path** Fork In The Path offers transformational foraging experiences in California for the adventurous of all ages. You can check us out on Instagram [here](https://www.instagram.com/forkinthepath100//).
