This Foraging Log/Journal will help you be a more efficient forager each year!
NEW EXPANDED VERSION: This version has the same useful pages as my other foraging journal/log, but it also has a list of wild edible and medicinal plants to look for in **each month**. Each month has a list, divided into the plant parts to look for: seeds, roots, leaves, flowers, etc. so you’ll know what to look for each month. The list was created for Eastern Canada, but will apply to the North Eastern US, and many plants are also found in central North America.
You know you saw that plant around here somewhere….but which trail was it on? When was it ready to harvest?
Once you spend a year keeping great records of what you forage, and where, you’ll be able to know exactly where to go at just the right time next year.
Whether you’re foraging for wild food, or for herbal medicine plants, keeping records will help you know where to look for each plant, remember each place you explored, and help you recreate your favourite recipes.
This printable journal/log includes the following types of pages that you can print as needed:
• 12 MONTH OBSERVATION LOG for each month of the year to record when you notice each plant part is ready to harvest
• WANDER LOG – take notes on the forests and trails that you explore so you’ll remember what to expect the next time you go, and which wild food and medicine plants you saw there
• HARVEST LOG – how much did you collect from each location, where did you find it and what did you make with it?
• PLANT PROFILE – a space for your own notes about identifying and harvesting each plant
• RECIPE PAGE – for keeping track of all your herbal medicine experiments, potions, and recipes
• lined note pages for any notes that don’t fit elsewhere
This printable log will help you keep track of the trails you explore, recipes you create, where to look for each plant next year, and what you did with your harvests.
Print out as many pages as you need to keep a record of your foraging adventures!
What plants are included?
This calendar focuses on medicinal plants, and some edible ones, that are easy to identify and prevalent in the Northeast, but many can also be found throughout Canada and the central/northern United States, and many are even found in Europe. If you just need the journal pages and not the reference, check out my other Foraging Journal listing.
