The most important principle to practice when foraging plants in the wild
Foraging is a rugged way of saying, picked in the wild and I think it’s important to address how to do it so all benefit.
I’d also consider foraging as anything which is cut or collected from an untended place, for example the national forests or even private land. If your neighbor has an incredible flush of a particular plant or flower, you’d still follow a similar code.
When you forage, you have the great pleasure to walk in an unmanicured landscape. It’s where you may see and smell how plants, trees, and animals move in accordance with each other and in their own rhythm. You may notice what species naturally gravitate together and which ones are content in solitude. It’s a practice and lifestyle which can align your inner compass (the senses) to ensure a healthy return of that which you love.
