Wild Food Foraging

Fayetteville's Urban Forster John Scott joins Ozarks At Large's Jack Travis to discuss a new digital tool from the city's GIS system that enables people to forage for food around town.

On today's show, we hear about the city of Fayetteville's new food-foraging map. Plus, after four decades covering high school and college sports, a former reporter still has more to say. We also investigate why the University of Arkansas doesn't have a men’s soccer team.

Much like wild grapes, persimmons, and paw paws that seasonally fruit on the Ozarks, edible mushroom varieties also appear in early spring, summer and autumn. Jacqueline Froelich takes us foraging for springtime mushrooms on the Boston Mountains, guided by sustainable wild foods forager, Jake Parette.

On today's show, prioritizing education for environmental programs in Fayetteville. Also, foraging for springtime mushrooms. Plus, a deep dive into the work of Charles Portis.
