Letting Plants Trust You18thNovember
Every March we get a rush of people interested in wild edible and medicinal plant classes. Its always exciting to make new friends, teach new people and experience the abundance of Spring.
Yet there is another world of plants, one I experienced today while trailing elk and deer through my woods. While crawling on my hands and knees under wet salmonberry I began to lull with the slower life of plants and trees in winter. They lose their leaves as growth becomes more internal, taking to the ground.
Winter is an opportunity to get your barrings in a landscape hopping with life in other seasons. Do me a favor, tell the plants you care by getting to know them with bare twigs and cold roots. Find one spot and watch them go from Winter to Spring. Just as everything with Trackers, its about caring for your "family" by caring to see. Its about the journey of your village through the seasons.
