What is Foraging?

Foraging is the practice of gathering food and useful plants from the wild. It connects us to land, seasons, and local ecosystems.

Why Do People Forage?

People forage for many reasons:

To remember we are nature,

To listen again to the land we belong to,

To make space for many ways of knowing,

For health and nutrition,

To repair broken food systems,

As a cultural or ancestral practice,

For joy, exploration, and remembering.
