Product Description
by M. Thiessen (Author)
Foraging is an overlooked essential skill. Many wild plants are edible or have incredible medicinal properties. While this is not a plant identification handbook, its purpose is just as valuable. Any climate, any country, any season, this book is an integral part of your plan. With 2 dedicated pages per foraged item, this book holds space for 50 wild items of your choice & 22 different pages to guide your research and your plans. Use this book to take the next step in your foraging journey.
- A beginner forager can use the planning pages to record what climate zone they are in and jot down research on the types of plants, nuts, seeds, berries, fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, saps, or mushrooms they are interested in finding growing naturally, local to them.
- A more experienced forager can record the locations of their favorite foraging spots and use the pages at the back to remember what time of year they should go back to harvest. They may also use this to start accumulating notes about recipes they have tried with their foraged items, and notes to remember for next harvest.
- A seasoned forager can use this book to document essential plants and their locations and what to do with them after harvesting. An irreplaceable heirloom for their family, passing on wisdom about sustainable foraging.
