Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Nature
    People are motivated to forage for many different reasons: as a source for food, a means of income, to connect with nature, to participate in cultural tradition, transmitting specific ecological knowledge, or as a means of stewarding local and native plant populations are just a few examples. What is your chief motivation for foraging?

    This is time of year we head out and look for the hen of the woods mushrooms! They make a great cream of mushroom soup. They are great sautéed. Remember when removing from the tree stump do not cut it all the way down, That way it will come back next year. In the spring we forage for fiddle head ferns and ramps!!!
