The UW Farm is going to publish-both online and in print, a foraging guide/map to the campus. I am going to coordinate this effort. Ideally, I would like to have us map out every edible plant and wildy area with lots of edibles on campus, as well as uses, times of harvest etc. The exact form this project may take is up for discussion. I am looking for a small group of people to share in this project. Some experience identifying plants would be helpful but certainly not required, and anyone with some computer mapping skills that might want to help would be awesome. I figure with a concerted effort during January and February we could get much of it done, leaving room to add in other edible summer annuals as we find them. This will include both planted shrubs/trees, "weeds", mushrooms and other members of the edible landscape. This is going to be a very fun project, a great way to learn about our bountiful campus and one of great value to the UW Farm and the greater Un!
iversity Community. If you want to be involved and feel like you could commit to around 2 hrs a week winter quarter, please email me. We will have a first meeting in early December to talk about what we want to do.
Cheers,
brady
