Summary: In this episode, professional forager and culinary alchemist Pascal Baudard takes us on a deep dive into the world of wild foods, fermentation, and sustainable foraging. He shares his journey from a small town in Belgium to becoming a pioneer in the wild food movement in Southern California. The conversation explores the culinary possibilities of invasive species, forgotten flavors, and ancient grains, along with traditional preservation techniques and the art of mustard and bread making. Pascal also discusses wild brewing, the medicinal uses of native plants, and the environmental impact of modern agriculture. With a strong focus on sustainability, he offers practical advice for incorporating wild ingredients into everyday cooking and inspires a renewed appreciation for working with nature. - Leave a Review of the Podcast - Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices Guest: Urban Outdoor Skills Pascal Baudar Instagram Wildcrafted Fermentation Takeaways: Pascal's journey into foraging began with his grandmother's teachings. Food preservation techniques are crucial for utilizing wild foods. Invasive species can be culinary treasures rather than nuisances. Rediscovering forgotten flavors can enhance modern cuisine. Sustainable foraging practices benefit both the environment and local communities. Learning about wild food can start with just one plant a week. Dandelion is a common and nutritious wild edible. Local resources are often overlooked in modern food systems. Food waste can include native plants. Mustard can be made from unique local ingredients. Pascal creates a unique smoky beer using wild oats and barley. Traditional brewing involves boiling plants and adding sugar for fermentation. Medicinal properties can be infused into beers using various herbs. The possibilities in brewing are endless and exciting. Sustainability in cuisine is crucial for environmental health. Foraging native plants can enhance culinary experiences. Pascal's upcoming book will focus on edible grains and seeds. Exploring wild foods can inspire creativity in cooking and brewing.

Researchers are connecting two ecological problems in the Northeast in hopes of reducing the risk of tick-borne illnesses. Also, a “one-of-a-kind” fossil of Navaornis hestiae helps fill a giant gap in scientists' understanding of how bird brains evolved.Managing Some Invasive Plants Might Reduce Blacklegged TicksIn much of the eastern US, October and November usher in an autumn peak of the blacklegged tick season.For years, researchers have noticed that these ticks, also called deer ticks, are more abundant on certain invasive plant species, like Japanese barberry, that create dense thickets in the forest understory. Now, a group of scientists in Vermont and Maine is investigating how managing these plants might decrease the number of blacklegged ticks—and the risk of people developing tick-borne illnesses, like Lyme disease and Babesiosis. After getting a $1.8 million grant from the National Science Foundation, they're hoping to come up with guidance for landowners.Read the rest at sciencefriday.com.Ancient Bird Fossil Offers Clues Into How Bird Brains EvolvedArchaeopteryx is the earliest bird-like dinosaur that we know of. It lived 150 million years ago, but researchers don't know much about how the bird brain evolved from then to now.An 80 million-year-old bird from the Mesozoic Era is now helping fill in the blanks. It's called Navaornis hestiae. Researchers uncovered a fossil of this species, which was previously unknown to science, in Brazil in 2016. That specimen has a remarkably well-preserved skull, which a team of paleontologists used to digitally reconstruct the bird's brain. The researchers recently reported their findings in the journal Nature.Ira talks with a lead author of the study, Dr. Luis Chiappe, a paleontologist and curator at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County in California.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

In this episode we interviewed Katie Kain and Ethan Tapper to discuss the effects of invasive species on riparian areas, and strategies landowners and ecosystem managers can use to control them. Katie is a Fish and Wildlife Biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Partners Program in Essex Junction, VT. She works with watershed organizations, conservation districts, and state and federal partners to restore riparian habitat with private landowners. The Partners Program provides financial and technical assistance to design and implement restoration projects. Ethan is the Chittenden County Forester for the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation. He advises private landowners, municipalities, conservation organizations, foresters and loggers on the responsible stewardship of forestland, and administers Vermont's Use Value Appraisal program.Invasive species pose a serious challenge to the management of riparian forests by out-competing native plants. They erode stream banks and damage habitats and ecosystem services, to name a few of the negative effects. Invasive species are incredibly difficult to control and eliminate, pushing practitioners to get creative and make difficult decisions on how to manage invasives. Listen to this episode to learn about how climate change is exacerbating the effects of invasives, strategies to control them, the challenging but essential role of herbicides, and how the process of managing invasive species has shifted how ecologists view forests. To learn more about Vermont's invasive plants, please go to Vermont Invasives' Gallery of Land Invasives. You can also watch a video about the most common invasive plants in forests in this region(created by our podcast guest, Ethan Tapper!).

We also chat about classes, sourcing items, making oils and potions, and more! Find Kamden: Website: Heart & Vine Apothecary Instagram: @heart_n_vine_apothecary Book: https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/thetamelesspath An apothecarist and wortcunner, Kamden S. Cornell has an avid love for plants of all kinds. As a bioregional animist and folk witch, they specialize in using the plants around them for their herbal and magical craft. As a non-binary, gay, queer, the outsider perspective is important to them and they are deeply drawn to invasive species, which have been much maligned and persecuted. That working relationship spurred the creation of The Tameless Path: Unleashing the Power of Invasive Plants in Witchcraft. Kamden also teaches classes on foraging, survival, and field herbalism in the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque, NM, as well as classes on tarot, alchemy, and witchcraft practices. They own a small, witchcraft-based business called Heart &Vine Apothecary that focuses on herbal remedies and ritual goods. They are the author of two self-published works- Ars Granorum: The Six Seed Arts of Witchcraft and On Needles and Pins: A Witches' Book of Poppetry and Figure Magic. They are also a regular columnist for Noumenia News, the periodical publication released by The Covenant of Hekate. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/witch-wednesdays/support

In the 1990s, eagles in the Southeastern U.S. began dying of a mysterious brain disease. Many years of research identified the culprit: a cyanobacteria that grows on an invasive aquatic plant called Hydrilla — also known as waterthyme. Fish ingested the cyanobacteria, and eagles ate the affected fish. Biologists are now working to contain Hydrilla to prevent more harm to ecosystems.
