Picking the forest

Following the immense success of the book "Forêt" which sold over 50,000 copies, here is its companion which will accompany the reader on their walks in nature!

"Foraging in the Forest" is a practical and compact identification guide that fits easily in your backpack. It contains over 100 detailed fact sheets and more than 300 photographs of wild plants at different stages of their growth, allowing you to identify, harvest, and eat the hidden treasures of Quebec's forest ecosystem.
