ABOUT

UKSN is Built for Foragers

From hedgerows to forests, UKSN connects foragers with the knowledge, confidence, and community to gather wild food safely and responsibly across the UK.

Why UKSN is Perfect for Foragers

Foraging reconnects us with nature, seasons, and the skills of the past — but doing it well means knowing what, when, and where. UKSN is where beginners and experienced foragers alike come together to learn, share, and explore the world of wild food with safety and respect.

WHAT MAKES UKSN SPECIAL?

Community Led

The UKSN is community led organisation, primarily run by volunteers.
Any profits generated from membership are reinvested, further enhancing the UKSN community, its goals and projects.

Welcoming Environment

The UKSN has a fully formed constitution and code of conduct. We also have both anti bullying and child protection policies in place that we expect all members to adhere to at all times. These core documents form the backbone of UKSN, ensuring that our community remains a safe environment for all members.

DBS Checked

The UKSN TRIBE Team hold Advance DBS certificates for your complete piece of mind. We also run checks on any volunteer that may 'work' with children at officially organised events or camps.

Radio Licence

UKSN hold a radio licence from OFCOM that allows members to communicate, without requiring a personal licence.

The UKSN is one of a small number of organisations to hold a Camping and Caravan Exemption Certificate in England, Scotland and Wales. This enables us to operate campsites for sole use by our members without needing planning permission or to apply for change of use for the land.
