Foraging for Fun: Eating Weeds In this course, Master Naturalist Craig Caudill will guide you in learning how to forage for food and medicine and have a fun time doing it. What we usually call “weeds” are often native plants that are packed with nutrition and great taste. Craig will take you into the woods, backyards, and parks and show you the critical identifying features of numerous plants and some trees. You will be able to find plants nearly anywhere in the Eastern region of the United States. Various plants thrive in one season or another, so Craig is going to add to this course continually as more plants arrive on the scene. Each plant discussed will also include a favorite recipe for its use.

The Nature Reliance Podcast from Nature Reliance Media is for anyone whose curiosity is sparked by a forest trail or a star-filled sky. It moves beyond simple how-to guides, though you’ll certainly hear practical wisdom on bushcraft and finding your way without a GPS. The conversations here weave together the hands-on skills of wilderness living with a deeper, scientific understanding of the natural world. You might find yourself learning about animal behavior one week and the principles of sustainable outdoor ethics the next. This podcast sits at a unique crossroads, appealing to the hobbyist angler, the weekend hiker, the dedicated survivalist, and the amateur naturalist all at once. It’s built on the idea that true reliance comes from knowledge-not just knowing how to make a fire, but understanding the ecosystem that provides the tinder. Episodes feature voices with real dirt-under-the-fingernails experience, offering stories and insights that make the wilderness feel less like a challenge to conquer and more like a complex, fascinating home to comprehend. Listening feels like a thoughtful conversation after a long day on the trail, one that leaves you better prepared and more connected to the landscape around you.
