Check out this cool project taking place in the Pacific Northwest!
Hi TNBRC:
Take a look at this story board documenting wild-harvested plants in the northwest US:
https://www.fs.usda.gov/pnw/science-stories/northwest-huckleberry-and-other-nuts-and-berries
The USFS in that region is interested in conserving and restoring traditionally used plants, like huckleberry, salal, and hazelnut, to provide harvest opportunities for Native American tribes and local businesses, as well as provide forage for native pollinators and other species that depend on these food sources!
The TNBRC is taking a first step towards such an initiative by documenting where and with what frequency traditionally used plant species occur on federal lands in Arizona. With this knowledge, we can target species or regions for conservation and restoration projects in order to ensure that these resources persist for future generations. You are a part of that amazing effort - Thank you!!!
