Redefining Plant Categories and Inclusivity in Foraging

The chapter challenges traditional labels of native and invasive plants, advocating for a more nuanced approach that recognizes the beneficial roles of 'naturalized' species like dandelions. It emphasizes the importance of joining local foraging groups to learn about sourcing food sustainably and fostering inclusivity in outdoor activities. The conversation also delves into the significance of diverse representation in the foraging community and the responsibilities associated with reconnecting with the natural world.
