Our Mission
At the Hunter Gatherer Society, our mission is to inspire individuals to reconnect with nature through foraging, sustainable living, and outdoor exploration. We aim to educate and empower our community with practical guides on wild edibles, survival skills, and the historical and medicinal uses of plants and mushrooms. By doing so, we foster a deeper understanding and respect for the natural world. Additionally, we are committed to preserving public lands to ensure future generations can enjoy camping, fishing, and foraging.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build a community that reconnects with nature while actively preserving public lands. By fostering a strong connection to the natural world, we inspire collective efforts to protect and maintain these vital spaces. The annual Great Gathering is a cornerstone of our vision, offering in-person experiences that blend education, connection, and conservation. This event brings together nature enthusiasts, foragers, herbalists, survivalists, conservationists, and eco-conscious individuals to share knowledge, build relationships, and work towards common goals.
Conservation Efforts
Conservation is at the heart of everything we do. By educating our community about the importance of preserving public lands, we aim to make a significant impact. Our conservation efforts include organizing clean-up events, advocating for policies that protect natural areas, and partnering with other organizations to support conservation initiatives. We are committed to ensuring future generations can enjoy the beauty and bounty of the natural world.
Community Engagement
Building a strong community is essential to our mission. We encourage our members to connect through online forums, social media groups, and in-person events. The annual Great Gathering is a highlight of our community engagement efforts, offering a unique opportunity for members to come together, share experiences, and learn from each other. By fostering a sense of community, we create a supportive environment where everyone feels welcome and valued.
