MANKATO, Minn. — If you or someone you know likes to gather fruits, nuts and other forest products from Minnesota’s woodlands, the Minnesota Harvester Handbook makes a wonderful gift.
Developed by University of Minnesota Extension, the Minnesota Harvester Handbook is an excellent resource for wild gatherers. This field guide showcases sustainable harvest and gathering methods for more than twenty familiar (and some unusual!) non-timber forest products. With a wide variety of decorative and edible forest products, including syrup, berries, boughs and mushrooms, there is plenty to keep your favorite forager busy all year!
