Because of planetary slaughter, Wildcrafters have a harvesting code that we chose to follow.As far as I know. It has never been written down before but most every Wildcrafter I know follows the below rather strictly.

 

1: Never pick all the plants in one area. 2: Wildcraft roots only after the plant has produced it's seed. 3: Respect nature and cover your trail. 4: Don't step on the fragile little plants! 5: When harvesting bark; take strips lengthwise. (Removing the bark all the way around the tree will kill it.) 6: Leave enough leaves for the plant to still make seeds. 7: Leave other plants undisturbed and only touch the plant you're harvesting. (Touching random plants is a bad idea because many plants will give you nasty rashes and other strange side effects)8: Be nice and help plants spread their seeds. (This way you help them and yourself. Harvesting that particular plant will be easier next year.P.S. Patty, I can't find Ramps ether. ~BOn 4/23/2010 3:14 PM, patricia jones wrote:

Yeah. It sounds right to me.

 

Another thing. Native Americans would take the smallest, weakest, bug

bitten or wind torn plant and leave the stronger. I believe they did

this to improve the viability of the species. They chose animal

targets in this way too.

good afternoon my friends: where in the world did you find this?? Most were on a survival basis, they consistantly over harvested and over killed to simply survive. This why many pop centers were abandoned and they moved on.

 

When you are close to starvation you take anything edible and in the quantities available for tomorrow. It was only when they found the "three sisters " that they finally were able to semi settle down in centers for extended periods.

 

Even so, Most were at a constant war with their neighbors for food and females. It wan't a lovely, tranquill, harmonous, paradise as is so offten painted.

 

I have lived with primitive people in various parts of the world. Today they aren't on a pure survival basis, but they still will over harvest readily, whether animal or plant. As a matter of fact, isn't that just what is being done in the US today? Today ! today !, let tomorow take care of itself.

 

I agree 100% on the 10 commandents of harvest as posted in here. I try not to harm unecessarily any life, plant, animal, or insect..

I remember something similar when I went

to “Otter Lake” with my 6th grade class

(and that was too many years ago that I’d like to remember). Regardless, what

we were taught were 1 in 5…if there were 5 plants around, harvest only one.

Seems like it depends on the individual. I'm sure there were greedy

bastards in the days of old just like there are now. Hunger would play

a factor. I have been starving before and mark these next words.

"Hunger is the best condiment"

Any famished human whether primitive, Native American, vegetarian or

new age ""civilized folk"" will abandon their ideals if hungry enough.

There are people who see a roach and carefully put it outside. Others

will step on it then flush it down the toilet. Some will eat that roach

because they must, for when you are that hungry, you don't even think

of ketchup.

 

So it seems like it depends on the individual and how much he needs to

survive. The greedy will all ways take more than their fair share.

OK about wildcrafting, but what about wildgrafting? Anybody any idea?

Thanks for inspiring!
