About Yugeneration
Yugeneration is the non-profit project of Yugen. For every bottle or can sold, 2 cents go to the foundation. Our mission is to bring people back to nature—and help to restore it.
The name says it all: YUGENeration. Yugen is a Japanese concept—the sense of wonder you feel for the beauty of nature. That moment when the vastness of the world around you gives you goosebumps.
We believe that people who truly experience nature also take better care of it. So Yugeneration funds free nature experiences — working with esteemed local organisations. This spring, we're organizing a series of free nature experiences, including foraging.
What is Foraging?
Foraging is an accessible nature workshop in collaboration with Forest To Plate—open to everyone, no prior knowledge needed.
We'll walk through forests and fields, learning to recognise edible plants, explore their unique flavours, and see our surroundings with fresh eyes.
It’s about slowing down, reconnecting with where our food comes from, and engaging our senses, all while respecting nature and taking only what we need.
We'll finish with a small bite and drink.

FAQ
Do I need to register for the event?
Yes. As we work with a limited number of spots per activity, registration in advance is required.
Why do I need to pay a reservation fee if the event is free?
To avoid no-shows, we ask for a small reservation fee. This will be fully refunded after your event attendance.
What ages are the events suitable for?
Our events are open to all ages, unless stated otherwise on the event page.
What if I can no longer attend?
If you can no longer participate, please cancel your registration in time (no later than 7 days before the event) and notify us via email: [email protected] so someone else can take your spot. If you do not show up without notice, your reservation fee will be donated to Yugeneration.
What should I bring?
Practical information such as clothing materials or preparation will be shared with you on the event page & after registering. For additional questions, contact: [email protected]
Where exactly does the event take place?
The exact location will be shared after registration or a few days before the event. For additional questions, contact: [email protected]
Will the activity take place in bad weather?
Yes. Weather conditions are part of the nature experience, so rain alone is not a reason to cancel. We do ask participants to dress accordingly. Only in case of storms or severe weather will the activity be cancelled for safety reasons.
What happens if an activity is cancelled?
The organization closely monitors weather conditions and communicates any cancellation at least 24 hours in advance. In that case, we usually offer a “rain check” and reschedule the session.
