      Introduction

      Before going out to forage in your location, it is important to know that you are on the side of the law. The rules for foraging for mushrooms, greens, berries, roots, seaweeds, shellfish and fish on public lands are generally similar but notable differences exist in different locations.

      Even if you are familiar with state and federal laws, it is vital to be sure of the rules of small jurisdictions, such as counties, municipalities, townships or district lands.

      Generally:

      - Do not harvest on public lands where such activities are prohibited.

      - Do not trespass. Obtain permission for harvesting on private lands.

      - Do not disturb or harvest protected wild plants.

      - Where you don’t have the information or the provided information is insufficient, endeavor to call or write the regulatory office of the land manager.

      There are many reasons why foraging wild plants is better than buying processed herbs. Knowing the source of your herbs empowers you to put only the purest of medicines into your body. Picking wild herbs is certainly more economically viable than buying them. But the most important reason to choose a wild plant over a store-bought herb is freshness.

      A herb picked straight from the ground still has its full power. It hasn’t been dried, heated, waxed or sprayed nor has it been exposed to exhaust, refrigeration, irradiation, pesticides or other people’s germs.

      Minimal processing of wild herbs can help retain their freshness and when done personally, the peace of mind is there; you know exactly where that plant lived and what conditions it’s been subjected to since being picked.

      Of course, when eating wild plants, our sense of taste, smell and even sight can often warn us of danger. Plants that are too high in tannins for human consumption (such as wild, uncooked acorns) will cause so much discomfort when first tasted that it’s almost impossible not to spit them out.

      Many toxic plants actually look toxic, like the Baneberries which resemble alien eyeballs. Bright red and white colors will often be
