I have accrued the 35 point needed for the straw badge in foraging! (Though, at the time of this writing, my sand badge request hasn't been granted, so don't do this before that!)

Eliding the parts of the list that don't apply to me:

35 points required
New items from the sand tea list - ½ point each
20 pounds of seed balls/bombs - 4 points
 - Unlimited duplication with different species each time
Save seeds from 6 species of wild plants - 2 points
 - Unlimited duplication with different species each time
Guerilla plant 500 woody perennial food seeds or cuttings (not seed bombs) - 8 points



1 point - two teas: 1; 2 (And just to be explicit, this doesn't include the tea I did for the Sand Badge: rose hips).

8 points - two batches of seedballs: 1; 2.

18 points - 9 batches of saved seeds: 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7; 8; 9.
