Naturalist-Author "Wildman" Steve Brill has been leading public
foraging tours in parks throughout the greater New York area since
1982. He works with schools, day camps, environmental
organizations, museums, parks departments, nature centers, scouts,
garden clubs, and educational farms, from March to December.
His Identifying and Harvesting Edible and Medicinal Plants in Wild
(and Not-So-Wild) Places (HarperCollins Publishers, 1994) is
considered a classic on the subject.His innovative Wild Vegan
Cookbook (Harvard Common Press, 2002) is changing the way people
think of preparing gourmet food. His Shoots and Greens of Early
Spring in Northeastern North America (self-published, 1986 and
2008) teaches people how the foraging season begins, and his
Foraging With the Wildman DVD series, along with the website he
created, is showing people how it's all done. But he's still best
known for having been handcuffed and arrested by undercover New
York City park rangers for eating a dandelion in Central Park!
