When 16-year-old Violet Brill looks out her window,she doesn't see only grass and trees—she sees a great meal.Her father,famous plant expert Steve "Wildman" Brill,carried her along on his foraging(覓食) tours from the time she was a little girl.
In the past decade or so,a renewed interest in foraging for edible(可食用的) plants has begun to appear—an interest that has truly blossomed recently.
"I think we've had a lot of time to get outdoors,and look around," says Adele Nozedar,author of Foraging for Kids. "There is rapid growth in foraging in the past year."
Kids are natural-born foragers.Take them out into the woods and they'll happily gather fallen leaves,or root around in the undergrowth for hidden treasures.Foraging is definitely a gateway to nature.Kids learn quickly that it's not just a bunch of green stuff outside.All those plants have a purpose.
And by encouraging a love of nature,foraging also encourages a love of the environment. "Having a strong connection to the land means you're more likely to protect it," says Dave Hamilton,author of Family Foraging. "And you can't get much more connected to the land than eating from it."
Plus,foraging brings good news for parents of picky eaters:When kids search for and pick their own food,they're more likely to be invested in it.Foraging for wild edibles encourages kids to try new,nutritious foods—especially kids who tend to turn their noses up at the vegetables on their plates.
For instance,Hamilton remembers taking a group of boys camping and asking them to gather enough lambsquarters for dinner.They came back with three days' worth of the greens,which he turned into a pesto(青醬).
"They absolutely loved it," he says. "There's something empowering about finding your own food,especially for kids."

3.Dear Laura,
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom, played football before your house. He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson's house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.
Yours,
Betty發(fā)布:2025/1/30 8:0:1組卷:12引用:2難度:0.5
