Curious about what's *actually* illegal around foraging, and more importantly, why it is? We dive into a long and convoluted history and series of laws which have left foraging law as a tool to be used by state organizations as they see fit. Foraging rights were in fact long protected in the United States early on in the nation's beginnings, but were slowly eroded away as a number of policies took hold around marginalized people, as well as the rise of urbanization and industrialism in the 19th century. Tune in for the story of its evolution to its current, chaotic state!
