In this first volume of his Secrets of the Forest series, nature
educator Mark Warren explains how to identify and use 100 wild
plants as food, medicine, and craft. He also covers “primitive”
survival skills, from building a shelter, to purifying water,
making tools, traps, and snares. With more than 200 original
hands-on activities, the book is a step-by-step guide for teachers,
scout leaders, outing clubs, and wilderness programs, and anyone
interested in the outdoors and forgotten skills. Hikers who want to
carry less gear and become more self-reliant by using what the
forest has to offer, will find tricks in these pages to lighten
their loads. Outdoor rec professionals will expand their knowledge
of their natural surroundings to share with their clients. And
parents who seek a closer relationship with nature for themselves
and their children will learn to become active, adventurous
participants in the forest, rather than just occasional visitors.
