Herbal solutions are valuable for the homeless population. Technology can help to identify plants and mushrooms that are edible and packed with minerals and nutrients. You can download an app or peek online to ensure the safety prior to consumption.
Knowing the rules for collection at places such as State Parks can be beneficial and you will find you can collect up to 9 gallons daily per person. If you find yourself in an emergency situation you can eat many common plants, berries, herbs and mushrooms.
Helpful options often overlooked include dandelions, wild rose, salal berries, blackberries, salmonberries, thimbleberries, plums and apples to name a few. Once educated to identify these treats, the natural world can bless the homeless in little ways lessening the discomfort with the resounding beauty of nature.
