Foraging citizen guide

Citizen Science Guidebook for Foraging

The Guide gathers knowledge and practices regarding foraging as traditional ecological knowledge and its modern dimension in Non-Wood Forest Products. It presents the forest landscape of the Mastorochoria area and focuses on tree forest species and the unique symbiotic conditions they offer, edible species, aromatic and pharmaceutical plants, and the most characteristic species of mushrooms found in the forests of Mastorochoria. The goal of the Guide is to mobilise local communities by activating their relationship with forest ecosystems and to initiate a dialogue regarding the multi-functional management of the forest wealth of the Mastorochoria area.

The Citizen Science Guidebook for Woodland Plants and Fungi was produced under the project: Connectivity Conservation Initiative for Fresh Drinking Water, funded by Prespa Ohrid Nature Trust – PONT.
