More on: Plant Identification

The podcast episodes on 'Plant Identification' focus on the importance of accurately identifying edible and useful wild plants, both for practical foraging purposes and for developing a deeper connection with the natural world.

In How to find food in your own backyard (w/ Alexis Nicole Nelson), the episode discusses the dangers of misidentifying plants and the need for thorough knowledge to avoid potential harm. Similarly, in Ethnoecology (ETHNOBOTANY/NATIVE PLANTS) with Leigh Joseph, the episode delves into the process of identifying native plants, including their traditional and scientific names, as a key aspect of the broader study of ethnobotany and indigenous knowledge.

These episodes highlight the central role of plant identification in the broader topics of foraging, environmental science, and cultural connections to the natural world.
