Family Foraging by David Hamilton helps families connect to nature on a new level through this age-old practice. Hamilton offers an easily digestible guide for anyone curious about learning to forage in North America. It contains information helpful to the complete novice--including what to bring, where to go, and what to look for--and is a good non-technical introduction to foraging. Hamilton even goes so far as to offer inspiration for encouraging young children to participate (and how to safely include them), making it ideal for families hoping to instill a passion for plants in young explorers... Also included are example recipes for each foraged plant: how to properly prepare and enjoy your wild, foraged food...a quick, informative, and enjoyable read. --Botanical Research Institute of Texas
