Good information, but an issue with invasive plants
Published by Jamie , 8 months ago
The book was very informative, it tells when, where, and how to forage. The only problem I have with it is its lack of taking invasive species seriously. Only for the most destructive invasives it reads something like "it's considered invasive in some areas" or "deemed invasive by some naturalists". Other less known invasives aren't noted to be so, like Queen Anne's Lace. I think this can be misleading to readers and potentially continue the spread of such invasives.
