This resource -- developed by the University of Minnesota Extension with the help of a broad network of contributors -- demonstrates the breadth and diversity of useful natural resources found in and around the state's woodlands and forests throughout the year.

This book features information divided into seasons:

• Spring (maple syrup, fiddlehead ferns, yellow morels)
• Summer (birch bark, multiple mushroom species, wild rice)
• Fall (balsam boughs, tree cones & seeds, pine, dogwood, and fall mushrooms)
• Winter (Basswood, Chaga, and firewood)

This book includes basic tenets of harvesting and helpful fact sheets on each species. It provides a point of entry to the world of natural resource gathering that can be used in conjunction with other plant identification resources.
