Got that Morel Mushroom Glow!
✨
A fine day in the (burnt) woods yields an abundance of delicious, nourishing wild food
Time to process them by cooking, drying, and pickling these beauties
Also updating the Urbalist.ca archives to share with members the detailed ins and outs of where to go, when to pick, best practices, how to grade, dry and more!

Would you love to help fuel the LARGEST ongoing cleanup project in the history of the Metro Vancouver region!? Since 2019 I've done HUNDREDS of trips out to our local rivers, forests, and mountains- conducting ecological surveys, doing cleanups, and facilitating volunteer cleanup events to extract upwards of 80,000+ lbs of trash from our natural areas
~
Our first project targets for Q1 of 2025:
18 cleanup projects
30 scouting cleanup/maintenance surveys
3 ecological restoration sites
100 micro wildlife habitat installations
500 native trees/shrubs planted
~
I've put in well over 2000 hours into doing the work and building/running the organization, now I need to make sure it's sustainable. To keep the basic operations covered, for example: 6-7 hrs per week of paid labor/event coordination/surveying, laundry cost for high visibility vests + cleanup gloves, transit/travel - it would cost around 800$ per each operating month. If you'd like to be a sponsor for our work, let me know. Any amount helps cover costs!

Beautiful Day Foraging, Connecting with the Land, Plants and a Plant Lover & Homesteader
💛
Picked loads of lilacs, was gifted many plants including horseradish, “living stones” as well as fine delicious rhubarb and Asparagus
The latter was cooked up with morels, regenerative steak and seasoned with wild-foraged spruce tip salt
What an amazing day 🌞
Thank to Louise for the tour of the land and sharing your plant gifts and knowledge

Dandelion - the Sunniest of Flowers 🌞
Just got these prepped and ready to go into the freeze-dryer for future use as a garnish on our desserts, and other kitchen creations
🌼
Dandelion petals are an incredible source of antioxidants, and are beneficial for the eyes and skin
From the petals one could make a dandelion wine, dandelion honey, or last year I infused these into butter and made an incredibly yellow dandelion petal ghee!
