We are hoping to learn more about you, the species you forage, how you use these materials, and your motivations for foraging.

We invite you to complete a survey: https://ursinus.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0SqFFwbVcYYqlcV

We’re academic researchers who have been studying foraging in urban and suburban environments for more than five years in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Seattle.

Over the course of more than six years, we’ve spoken to numerous foragers through in-depth interviews. The questions in this survey build on those conversations and are intended to help us learn even more about species and their specific uses by people living in the Philadelphia area. 

Even if you’ve already completed an interview with us, we encourage you to complete the survey. And please feel free to distribute to other foragers living in the Philadelphia Metro area. 

This is a research project being conducted by Dr. Patrick Hurley and his students that seeks to document the breadth of foraging practices in the Philadelphia Metropolitan area.
