Walk and Talk with the Truffle Master Dr Jim Trappe

This event is part of the Woodfordia Treehuggers Weekend (24th-25th June) held in the Festival Hall Woodfordia, 87 Woodrow Rd.  We are honoured to have Dr. Jim (James) Trappe, a world-renowned truffle expert, drop in from the US.

You are invited to join Jim on a Woodfordia truffle hunt at 2 pm on Sunday 25th June. Bring a small hand-cultivator rake if you want to scratch for truffles. Jim has also offered to give us a presentation on truffles and their role in ecosystems, if you’d like to stay.

 If you would like to attend this event you will need to obtain a boom-gate code for entry, so please RSVP to: sandra[at]woodfordia.com
