Foraging

Foraging Basics

Learn to identify wild edibles safely and sustainably.

Two people are on a pebbled shoreline, engaging in an activity possibly related to outdoor exploration or survival. One person crouches while reaching out towards driftwood, and the other stands nearby. There are various outdoor items scattered around, including a yellow and white piece of material that could be a section of a boat or container.
A green tent is set up in a bushy, grassy area, surrounded by trees and shrubs. There are several backpacks and camping gear scattered around, including two hiking poles, bags, and a rolled-up sleeping mat. The environment looks natural and outdoors.

Wild Finds

A makeshift shelter built in a forest, constructed from branches and covered in moss and leaves. Surrounding the shelter are various ferns and undergrowth, with tall trees in the background. Sunlight filters through the canopy of leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground.
A man is standing in a lush, green forest clearing beside a campfire. Two black pots are placed on the fire, surrounded by rocks and logs. He is dressed in a black shirt, light-colored pants, and boots, with a cap on his head. Smoke rises from the boiling pots.
A rustic forest setting features several weathered flags with symbols, mounted on poles formed from raw tree branches. Behind them, makeshift shelters covered in tarpaulin blend into the dense arrangement of slender trees. Logs and branches are strewn about the forest floor, creating a natural barricade.
Several people are outdoors near a makeshift fire. One person is adjusting something on the ground near the fire, possibly preparing food or maintaining the fire. Another person nearby is wearing a life jacket. The area is surrounded by dense green foliage and scattered rocks.
