What is sustainable foraging?
Sustainable foraging involves collecting wild plants and fungi in a way that maintains the health and balance of the ecosystem. It means taking only what you need, leaving enough for wildlife, and ensuring that the plants can regenerate.
How can I identify safe plants to forage?
It’s important to educate yourself on local flora. Use reliable field guides, attend workshops, or join guided foraging tours to learn from experts. Always err on the side of caution and avoid any plant you’re unsure about.
When is the best time to forage in Eryri?
Foraging in Eryri is a year-round activity, with different plants and fungi available each season. Spring and autumn are particularly abundant, offering a variety of edible greens and mushrooms.
What should I bring on a foraging trip?
Bring a basket or cloth bag for collecting, a knife or scissors for harvesting, and a field guide for identification. Dress appropriately for the weather and terrain, and don’t forget water and snacks.
Why is it important to forage responsibly?
Responsible foraging helps protect biodiversity and ensures that wild resources remain available for future generations. It also minimizes the impact on wildlife that rely on these plants for food and habitat.
