Abstract

The paper focuses on the growing and/or foraging of regional plants and the relationship of these activities to the ecological health of an area, one in which the human culture and natural environment are vital and in balance. Beginning with an overview of bioregionalism, the author moves on to take an historical look at interactions with the land in the Haliburton area.

The bulk of the paper reports on the author's interviews with eight community members who are involved in growing and/or foraging natural plants and their philosophies of living on and with the land. A list of regional plants found and used by those interviewed forms an appendix to the paper.
