Family Foraging by David Hamilton

Family Foraging by David Hamilton

The ultimate family-friendly guide to foraging with kids.

More than ever before, we need to find tangible ways for our children to experience the natural world on a regular basis. Foraging for wild food is one of the most exciting ways to get kids interested in the world around them--a day gathering wild blackberries and dandelion greens gets their hands dirty and uses all of their senses. This accessible, engaging guide gives families the tools they need to accurately describe each plant and how to tell it apart from any harmful lookalikes. This book also includes simple, seasonal recipes that readers of all ages can make with their delicious wild edibles:

* Pink lemonade made from staghorn sumac
* Toffee apples made from squeezed hawthorn berries
* Yummy chestnut and chocolate sauce
* Nettle and cream-cheese savory pancakes
