It's always a great idea for any outdoorsperson to know which wild plants are edible and which are not.
For this task, all you'll need to do is collect 5 different foraged ingredients for the cooks at the lodge to use for supper tonight. To assist you in finding edible foods in the forest, feel free to refer to the list of native plants at any time, or use the mushroom guide that's attached to this page. Be sure not include anything toxic and that all plants are edible - don't poison the campers!
Once you're finished, take a picture of the items in your inventory and submit it to the form below. Then, Park Ranger Rachael can add the badge to your scout sash!
Good luck!

Remember - if you're not sure which plants are safe to eat, feel free to compare your foraged ingredients to the list of native plants at any time! Plants that are toxic to eat are labeled as such.
**Do not use these lists as guides for foraging out in the real world. If you are interested in foraging, always make sure to follow the proper guides that are available online or at your local library!
