What is wildcrafting, you ask? It is the manner in which a botanical material is collected from its natural setting in the wild. It is the practice of harvesting and using wild materials for food, construction and craft. And surprise some wildcrafting can be done in urban settings like parks and arboretums.
Don’t you agree that it is very important to become self-reliant, especially when there are times when ancient healing wisdom is necessary for survival.
