Looking for inspiration on what to pack in your picnic? 

  • Create sandwiches inspired by pine marten food sources like peanut butter, egg or jam for a delicious combination of savoury and sweet flavours.
  • Pine martens often consume nuts and seeds. Make a nutty trail mix with a variety of nuts, seeds, dried fruits. 
  • Create a berry salad with a mix of fresh berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries for a refreshing and colourful dessert that you would love as much as a pine marten!
  • Pine martens live in forested areas, and roasted root vegetables like carrots, parsnips, and sweet potatoes are a great way to evoke the earthy flavours of the woods.
  • For a playful dessert, create chocolate or peanut butter biscuits and use a paw print-shaped cookie cutter to make pine marten paw print cookies. 

No food or water is provided at the event so please bring your picnic, or, food is available at nearby cafe's and pubs.
