Seeing the foods thru the trees- Foraging for your dinner
It's that time of year. The warmer days and cooler nights make great weather for camping and hiking. Next time you head out into the woods, take a look at the ground near the base of trees. You can often find highly coveted wild foods to forage right there on the forest floor. Morel mushrooms, ramps, fiddleheads all start to pop-up in early spring, and you don't have to be an expert to know what to look for. Foraging can even be a great activity for the kids, and an entertaining way to teach them about nature. Even if youdon't find something, it will still be a fun adventure. Check out
this YouTube video for some tips on what to look for when you are out in the woods.
