Hi Judson,
I am excited to take a look at your book. I have been practicing thoughtful foraging and seasonal eating for awhile now (and fermentation...I love fermentation) here on the Salish Sea. My partner and I forage wild plants and fungi on the land we steward and occasionally elsewhere. He just brought home some of stink currants- ribes bracteosum, if you are partial to the latin names - which I used for a filling in a cake.
I wonder if you touch on the ethics of foraging wild plants at all in your book? Up here in Canada, many of us are trying to find ways of reconciling with First Nations, and foraging on Crown or government lands which are often unceded indigenous lands, is controversial when one is interested in respecting Indigenous sovereignty. I know this is a complicated topic, and I am not really looking for an answer, I am much more interested in discussion.  Thoughts?
Warmly,
Jen

That is definitely a top I have covered in my herb books, especially in terms of wildcrafting. It is also a topic I will cover more in depth on the book I hope to publish next year, exclusively on foraging.  I don't recall touching on it much in this book though.  I limited the foraging section to only 12-20 wild plants because I didn't want to overwhelm folks who have never tried wild foods.  I figured inspiring them to try a few new things would be a good start.  I wish I could legally grow currants and gooseberries where I live.  Believe it or not, cultivating them is illegal due to a belief that they could harbor a disease that might infect Christmas trees!  I still find some around old, abandoned homesteads but they are a rare treat for me.
