This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the iron badge in Foraging.

For this BB, you will forage 1,600,000 calories from at least 20 different species!


(source: Pinterest.com)

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- Forage 1,600,000 calories from at least 20 species
   - 12 species of at least 20,000 calories each
      o No more than 8 of the 12 can be animal species

To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 mins):
- foraging each type of food
- show the weight of each food and describe the number of calories it represents
- preparing the food for storage

Clarifications:
- Apples from a neighbor don’t count here.  
- Apples from a homestead that has been abandoned for at least five years does count.  
- Apples oddly growing in a place where there has never been any cultivation counts too (probably a discarded apple core led to the tree).  
- Apples that are the result of guerilla gardening do count.
 
Hoo hoo hoo! Looks like we got a live one! Here, wave this tiny ad at it:
