Wanted to Share an Incredible Local Plant Expert and Foraging Content Creator

Since we are all plant nerds here, I wanted to share a YouTube creator that I found that makes great content focused on the Austin and Central Texas area. I have never met this person, I just think his content is incredible and so niche to our area that I had to share.

His name is Cyrus Harp and he has degrees from UT Austin and UC Berkley and is an ethnobotany and ethnoentomology expert. He was born and raised in Austin and embodies the weirdness of the Old Austin that I grew up in. He seems to have a focus particularly on our local flora and fauna here in Central Texas. He has a wealth of knowledge about local plants, especially edibles and plants that you can forage. Everything I have heard him say checks out. You can read more about him on his website here: https://paleoforaging.com/about/

Here is an awesome video he made last year of him foraging in West Austin: https://youtu.be/Cms2lQjhU2E?si=BAhtKxfJ_dMRV7xD

Here is a link to just his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PaleoForaging

These are the types of creators we need to support so that they can continue to share the incredible wealth of knowledge they have gathered over their lives. Hope you guys enjoy his content as much as I have.
