Create a guide to edible plant life in the area

Submitted by Chris Hardie in Food and Agriculture

For some, foraging for edible plants is an exercise in wilderness survival. For others, its an interesting way to get to know the makeup of our wonderful outdoor resources, get kids excited about being outside, and have a great excuse to tour local parks, woods, and waterways. A guide to edible plant life in the area could be a great tool for education, tourism, and food buffs. It could be as simple as a list of edible plants with descriptions and sketches, or a much more comprehensive resource with color photos, that helps users know where to look in which areas around Richmond.
