This guide is offered as a free educational resource for those looking to deepen their connection with the natural world through late-season foraging.
As the autumn landscape changes, so do the opportunities for harvesting wild edibles and medicinals. This comprehensive digital guide is tailored specifically for the late October and November season in British Columbia and similar Canadian regions. It moves beyond summer berries and leaves to focus on the nutrient-dense roots and hardy medicinal fungi that are at their peak during this time.
Inside this guide, you will find:
- Detailed profiles of common and sustainable wild roots, including Dandelion, Burdock, Chicory, and Oregon Grape, plus a section on the Birch Polypore fungus as well as best-loved edible mushrooms of the Canadian forest, such as lion's mane and chanterelles.
- A strong emphasis on ethical and sustainable harvesting practices to ensure the health and longevity of our native ecosystems.
- Clear, step-by-step instructions for preparing and preserving your harvest, including methods for roasting roots for coffee, creating tinctures, making salves, and brewing medicinal decoctions.
This resource is designed to help you approach late-season foraging with confidence, respect, and a focus on safety. It is our contribution to the spirit of free education and re-wilding, helping you build knowledge and skills for a more connected relationship with the land.
