You will be surprised at how many of them are edible. Kahikatea trees (one of my fav trees) produce edible berries. They are some of the tallest trees in the forest, and yet maōri would climb them to hights over 200 ft were they battled with birds to collect these berries!!! It’s also good to learn invasive plants, but this can be a deep rabbit hole that depresses you - my friend is currently battling with an invasive plant known as moth weed and it haunts her every waking minute

I love to forage for edible mushrooms, but I also just love learning and identifying as many different species as possible. You begin to recognize certain phenotypes like spore bearing surface, gill attachment, cap morphology, etc and begin to recognize individual species or genera like old friends. They are like magical aliens, except they’re literally on our planet- literally right under our noses.

Knowing their species name makes them feel like part of your community instead of just green-brown blobs. Your walks feel so much richer and more full of life. You might even start saying hello when you pass by :-)

The more I walk around my neighborhood, I started to notice all the trees. I found this one to be my favorite.

Look at the clouds and the stars. Learn their names and stories. Remember how small you are. Remember how important you are.

I’m 19 and from a coastal township in New Zealand. My mum is a fishmonger and I spent my teenage years working for her. I’m in my third year of an ecology degree (women in STEM 🙏). I find it Fascinating but I recently discovered I don’t think it’s going to be my dream job. I feel a bit lost for what to do with myself when I graduate, but I’m trying to find beauty in stepping into the abyss, not sure where my feet will land.
I’m interested in trees and their ecologies, I love giving people random facts. I recently learnt that I like to dance, I don’t care what the music is, I just want to move. I like taking pictures, even if they aren’t very good and I like writing to myself. I fall in love easily, I think everyone is beautiful. I need more hobbies, and I’m still discovering myself, so I’m sure there will be more to add in due time :)
