• Clear photos, helpful drawings, and key information to help you forage safely and sustainably.
• An online, downloadable, year-long study guide with prompts, lesson plan ideas and bonus material.

Mikaela's infectious love of plants, and all things nature is on every page of this book. She invites the reader on a journey to connect with the land in this beautifully written, family friendly guide for foraging. This book is ideal for educators, outdoor enthusiasts, gardeners, and anyone who experiences eco-anxiety or disconnect from nature.
