I share the same interest. "Edible and Medicinal Plants of the Great Lakes Region" by Thomas A. Naegele, D.O. is a pretty good book. Hex P.S. Labrador tea.

We had a recent discussion about "taking" things from the Q. I believe the rules are different in the BWCA, but just to be safe, I would ask the ranger at your entry point or outfitter to be sure? Just make sure you say "Herbs", not "Herb", I know THAT is illegal

I'd suggest blueberries for starters, loaded with antioxidants. Just keep an eye peeled for Yogi, otherwise those antioxidants may not do you much good.

Shan Walshe's "Plants of Quetico and the Ontario Shield". A wonderful book. Can be purchased here (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Don't leave home without it. Collection with care and moderation is probably fine.

Hey, I have a very unique hobby everywhere I go I collect naturally oucuring edible and medicinal herbs, trees and plants. I've collected from Texas to the rockies but never as far north as the boundery waters. So my first question; Can you collect small quantitys plant material in the Boundery Waters? and if you can I vas wondering if any one had any ideas ( good guide books,common names, good places to look, etc. ). I am looking into safer home treatments for common ailments without drugs.
