I've found foraging to be intensely rewarding. It is a great way to get in touch with nature, and follow the cycle of the seasons and plants you will encounter when out in the wilderness. And after a long hike and successful collecting, making a delicious dinner with the things you have gathered is gratifying.

A New Chapter
As I recently moved back to Winnipeg, all my foraging activities will be concentrated in the province of Manitoba. Although there is some overlap with edibles found in southern Ontario, I am currently researching and preparing for the upcoming foraging season. There are different growing seasons, as well as fungus, plants, and berries to look for.
On top of that, I am an avid knitter, and have begun dyeing wool using mushrooms. I will also be providing information on my adventures with mushrooms and lichen dyes through this blog.
Who Am I?
I have recently moved back to my homeland of Manitoba, where I have taken a position as a geologist. I am also a part-time graduate student, finishing up my M.Sc.
I am a lover of dogs, and own two. Fisher-woman extraordinaire. Amateur huntress. Collector of rocks and fossils. Hiker and snow-shoer. Maker of soap. Drinker of beer. One-part hippie, one-part tomboy.
