What is Wildcrafting ?

Wildcrafting is the practice of foraging for wild plants and herbs in their natural environment. It involves gathering these resources sustainably and responsibly, often for culinary, medicinal, or crafting purposes. This age-old tradition connects people with nature and promotes an appreciation for local ecosystems. By understanding the plants and their uses, wildcrafting can enhance our relationship within the natural world.
