Wildcrafting Calender
Collecting Natures Seasonal Bounty
Wildcrafting of the many usable items and botanicals from nature can be spread throughout the year. This wildcrafting calender will help you to figure out the best time to start checking the woods for mushrooms, when to harvest willow for baskets, the ideal season to look for shed antlers. If you're a wildcrafter with the knowledge of when to harvest, glean or collect natures bounty, I want to hear from you. Don't worry, your secrets are safe with me. Don't divulge a particular spot that you go to - a simple gardening zone if you know it, or an elevation above sea level, or a description of local plants will help each wildcrafter to determine the best times to go wildcrafting. Add your input to the wildcrafting calender, and if you're an avid collector, herbalist or artisan using wildcrafted craft supplies, herbs or any other natural item in your lifestyle, share your knowledge.
When do you collect natures bounty?
How do you know when to glean, harvest and collect the wealth that nature provides? Finding the right time and season to go wildcrafting for your particular item is an art - share it!
