04.18: Dandelion Hunter: Foraging the Urban Wilderness
2013-03-15 00:36:45| Powells Books Events Calendar
In Dandelion Hunter: Foraging the Urban Wilderness (Lyons Press), an engaging and eye-opening read, forager-journalist Rebecca Lerner sets out on a quest to find her inner hunter-gatherer in the city of Portland, Oregon. After a disheartening week trying to live off wild plants from the streets and parks near her home, she learns the ways of the first people who lived there and, along with a quirky cast of characters, discovers an array of useful wild plants hiding in plain sight. As she harvests them for food, medicine, and just-in-case apocalypse insurance, Lerner delves into anthropology, urban ecology, and sustainability, and finds herself looking at nature in a very different way. Humorous, philosophical, and informative, Dandelion Hunter has something for everyone, from the curious neophyte to the seasoned forager. This event is sponsored by Edible Portland.
