An outdoor adventure -- such as looking for unique ways to use dandelions, mugwort, or shepherd's purse, or identifying poisonous plants to avoid on a nature walk -- will be enriched with this guide. Filled with down-to-earth wisdom and personal experiences of author Christopher Nyerges, who has led wild-food outings and survival skill hikes for 25 years, this resource details the medicinal and practical uses of 70 common wild plants. Handy keys to leaves, fruits, and seeds, along with more than 100 helpful photographs and drawings, will enable readers to identify plants at a glance.
