Here's the Expedition Detroit guide on adding some flavor to your hikes by highlighting seven edible plants for easy foraging in Southeast Michigan (and beyond). "I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it." Each of us can probably think of an item or two that pops into our mind after reading that statement. For an outdoor enthusiast, that statement typically enters our vernacular when planning for an extended outing, such as a multi-day backpacking trip , long trail run , or thru-paddle . "Do I really need that extra pair of socks?" "How much water is too much for this ride?" "Should I pack the snowshoes for these conditions?" Fortunately, taking the time to learn a few critical survival skills represents an "I'd rather have it and not need it" time investment that can immensely benefit your outdoor experience - with life-saving returns - without adding any weight to your pack. One basic survival lesson includes the " Rule of 3s ": You can generally survive 3 minutes without breathable air while unconscious or in icy water. You can generally survive 3 hours in a harsh environment (extreme heat or cold) without adequate shelter. You can generally survive 3 days without drinkable water. You can generally survive 3 weeks without edible food. This article, as you've probably guessed by now, focuses on the last bullet: foraging for edible food in the Detroit region's wildest places. Did you know you might be stepping on something you can eat? There are dozens of edible plants native to Southeast Michigan. And guess what? A lot of them arenât hard to find. đ€« You just need to know where to look! In this article, youâll learn about seven easy-to-spot plants you can forage on your next hike.

What is Foraging? Foraging is like a treasure hunt in nature. You search for wild, edible plants and mushrooms to harvest and enjoy. Itâs an age-old practice that connects us to the land and the natural food sources around us. In Southeast Michigan, you can forage in: Forests Fields Meadows Along trails and roadsides Lawns ( aka your own backyard ) When you forage, you're not just collecting food - you're learning to identify plants and understand their growing environments .

Wild Strawberries ( fragaria virginiana ) Wild strawberries are tiny and SUPER cute! đ Theyâre much smaller than the ones you would find at your local grocery store. They have small white flowers in the spring that turn into little red berries in the summer. The leaves are trifoliate â which is a fancy way of saying each leaf has three âleafletsâ that make up a single leaf. You can find these little babies low to the ground. Wild strawberries grow in open woods, meadows, hillsides, and along trails. So you may not even have to venture very far to get some. You can use strawberries in a variety of recipes, or they can be eaten on their own!

Wild garlic has long, narrow leaves that grow from the base of the plant. And small, greenish-white flowers that grow in clusters at the top. Look for wild garlic in fields, meadows, lawns, roadsides, and other disturbed areas. The best time to forage for them is from late winter to late-spring.

What starts as a reddish colored, bitter fruit perfectly ripens into black, savory, and delicious berries. You can find wild blackberries in thickets, at the edge of the forest, roadsides, and open fields. The leaves are made up of three to five leaflets with serrated edges. The best time to look for ripe berries is from mid to late-summer. You can pop these straight into your mouth after you pick them ( our go-to method ). Or, like strawberries, they can be used in a variety of dishes.

Come mid to late-summer, these blossoms grow into small, round berries that turn a vibrant blue. You'll typically find these tasty gems thriving in open woods, forest edges, meadows, and even in rocky or sandy areas. Whether you enjoy them fresh off the bush, incorporate them into your baking, whip up some homemade preserves, or create delectable sauces, lowbush blueberries are versatile and delicious!

The top of the mushroom looks like a brain, and its colors can vary from cream and yellow to gray and dark brown. You'll typically find morels in moist wooded areas â especially around decaying trees, old orchards, and recently burned areas. The mushroom thrives in these environments from spring to early summer. Morels add a rich, earthy flavor to your cooking. The mushroom is absolutely perfect for enhancing sauces and pasta dishes. â ïž WARNING: Watch out for false morel mushrooms. Theyâre toxic. You can tell itâs a false morel if it is NOT hollow from the base of the stem to the top of the cap, as well as if the top is less egg-shaped and more irregular than a true morel. As Bear Grylls once said, " When in doubt, spit it out! " đ đœââïž MOREL MUSHROOM FORAGING CHEATSHEET morchella spp. (morel mushroom) Identification: Egg-shaped and honey-combed caps, cylindrical stem, colors ranging from cream to yellow and gray to dark brown Location: Moist wooded areas, around decaying trees, old orchards, burned areas Season: Spring to early summer Best for: Cooking, sauces, pasta dishes Ready to Add Some Flavor to your Next Adventure?

Trail Running Made Easy: A Beginnerâs Guide to Ditching the Pavement Leave the pavement behind for running Detroit's pristine natural trails this summer! Here's your crash course into the health benefits, top gear, and best techniques for trail running throughout Metro Detroit. If you're a regular road runner looking to switch up your routine this summer, then trail running might just be your next obsession. And if youâve been thinking about trail running for a while, let this be your sign to finally give it a try! This beginner's guide to trail running aims to help you transition from pavement to natural paths. Weâre here to inspire you to embrace the wild, challenging, and exhilarating world of trail running. In this article, youâll explore: The basics and benefits of trail running Recommended gear and training plans for getting started Trail running technique tips Discover a whole new way to get that running high. Letâs start with the basics. What Is Trail Running? Take a moment to think of the image that pops into your head when you read the words "trail running." Trails that wind through towering mountains or dense forests? How about alongside rivers and creeks or on pristine beaches? Maybe you're jogging through an expansive, untouched wildflower field? If you imagined any of those idyllic destinations, then youâre exactly right! Trail running can take place anywhere you run on natural terrain . Think dirt paths, not paved surfaces. In reality, you can choose to run on a wide variety of different trails. Multi-use trails. Designed to host various activities like hikers, mountain bikers, horse riders, etc. Fire roads. These roads are wide enough to accommodate fire trucks and other maintenance vehicles. Single-tracks. Narrow trails that are usually only big enough for one person at a time. Types of Terrain You can best prepare for your next trail run if you understand the different types of terrain. We've prepared an easy reference guide on the types of terrain via the chart below. It also includes potential challenges and benefits of that terrain type. Type of Terrain Potential Challenges Benefits Dirt Trails Muddy, slippery, loose soil Gentle on joints, less technical Gravel Trails Unstable footing Firm running surface, less likely to get muddy Rocky Trails Technical, demanding Builds strength, balance, and agility Root-Laden Trails Tripping hazards Shaded, builds agility Grass Trails Slippery when wet, can hide uneven ground Easy on joints, less technical Sandy Trails Requires more effort, slower going Builds strength and endurance Hilly Trails Steep inclines, strenuous, thin air at high altitudes Stunning views, builds endurance Mud Trails Extremely slippery, risk of losing shoes in deep mud Builds mental fitness and endurance Snow & Ice Trails Slippery and cold, requires specialized gear Builds stability As a beginner, we recommend you find some dirt and grass trails to start . These have more stable footing and less technical challenges. You can tackle more technical trails later on. This lets you build up your trail running skills to reduce the risk of injury. Benefits of Trail Running Spoiler alert: running is good for you ( duh ). But putting that commonsense fact aside, why should you consider trail running over sticking with the paved roads ? Letâs take a look at the different benefits of trail running vs. road running. Less Impact on Your Joints When running on softer surfaces like grass, dirt, or gravel, thereâs less strain put on your joints. This in turn will reduce your risk for injuries like shin splints and stress fractures. In the long run ( pun unintended ), the lower impact will help you run for longer periods of time and cover more distance, WITHOUT as much wear and tear on your body. Lower Risk of Overuse Injuries Running on flat and hard surfaces can lead to overuse (i.e., repetitive stress) injuries. The varied terrain you encounter while trail running is a big benefit because it diversifies your movements . This in turn will assist your body with developing better muscle balance. Youâre Less Likely to Get Bored Running paved paths is great, but let's be honest - sometimes it can get a bit boring . When youâre trail running, your natural surroundings will help keep all of your senses engaged. You get to see beautiful scenery. Hear the sounds of nature. Smell the fresh air. You need to pay more attention to the ever-changing terrain to keep your footing. Stated differently, trail running keeps both your body and mind active the entire run. Getting Started So how does one even get started with trail running? Weâll go over the basic gear you need and tips on how to pick a training plan. Trail Running Gear You do need some basic trail running gear to get started. This way you're safe, comfortable, and prepared for the varying terrain and conditions. Hereâs a list of essential gear for beginners: Trail running shoes . Provides better grip and stability on uneven terrain. Trail running socks . Protects your feet from blisters and provides comfort. Hydration system. Staying hydrated is crucial, especially on longer runs. You can go hands-free with a hydration pack or hydration belt. Fitness Tracker. For us, our Garmin Instinct Solar 2 watch is the ideal companion for tracking each training or competitive training run. Moisture-wicking clothing. Keeps you dry and comfortable by pulling the sweat away from your skin and allowing it to evaporate. Trail running backpack or vest. Carries your essentials like water, snacks, and a first-aid kit. With these basics, you'll be well-prepared to start your trail running journey. As you gain experience, you can add more gear. Based on your preferences and the specific trails you frequent. Choosing a Training Plan Ok, now youâre ready to dive into trail running (Yay! đ„ł). Letâs talk about how to get started with a training plan that will ease you into this exciting new adventure. Here are the main considerations that you will want to keep in mind when choosing your training plan: Whatâs Your Current Fitness Level? First things first, be honest with yourself about your fitness level. Are you already running regularly on roads, or are you recently getting back into fitness? Knowing where you stand will greatly assist with picking a plan that challenges you, but doesnât go too far too soon. Start Slow We cannot overstate this: Start slow. Trail running uses different muscles than road running, and the terrain can be unpredictable. Look for a plan that begins with shorter distances. Then gradually increase the length and intensity, with the general rule being a 10% maximum increase in your mileage per week. This way, you can build strength and endurance without experiencing a season-ending injury. Mix Up Your Workouts Variety is key in any good training plan. You can include a mix of different workouts like: Easy Runs : These are shorter, slower runs that help build your base fitness. Long Runs : Longer runs at a comfortable pace to build endurance. Hill Workouts : Run up and down hills to build strength. And improve your ability to handle elevation changes. Cross-Training : Substituting runs with other cardio activities with even less impact like cycling, swimming, hiking, or even roller-blading can maintain your training regimen while preserving your legs. Recovery Days : Help your body recover and prevent burnout. Take a day off. Donât Forget About Strength Training Donât skip the strength training! Trails are tough on your muscles, especially your legs and core. A good training plan should always include strength workouts a couple of times a week. Think squats, lunges, planks, and other exercises that target your trail running muscles . Listen to Your Body Trail running can be tough, so itâs paramount to listen to your body. If youâre feeling overly tired or sore, donât be afraid to take an extra rest day. The goal is to challenge yourself , not to push yourself to the point of exhaustion. Plus, when you listen to your limits, youâre more likely to stick with it. Trail Running Technique Tips These trail running techniques make your runs smoother, safer, and a whole lot more fun . Hereâs a breakdown of the basics: Pace Yourself One of the first things you want to do is adjust your pace. Trail running is a different animal compared to road running. The varied terrain, hills, and obstacles mean youâll need to slow down . Especially in the technical sections. Donât worry about your speed. Focus on keeping a steady, comfortable pace that allows you to enjoy the run. Watch Your Footing Eyes on the trail! đ We canât stress this enough. Look about 10-15 feet ahead to spot any roots, rocks, or other obstacles. This helps you avoid tripping. It takes some practice, but keeping your gaze forward becomes second nature over time. Use Shorter Strides Long strides might work on smooth roads, but on trails, shorter strides are your friend. They give you better control and balance, especially on uneven terrain. Think of it as dancing over the rocks and roots rather than leaping. Engage Your Core Your core plays a big role in keeping you stable on the trails. When youâre running, engage your core muscles. This helps you maintain balance and absorb the impact of rough terrain. Adjust Your Form For Hills Hills are a huge part of trail running. Going up, shorten your stride, lean slightly forward, and use your arms to pump yourself up the hill. Coming down, take small, quick steps, lean slightly back, and keep your center of gravity low. Let gravity help you, but stay in control to avoid any spills. Use Your Arms Your arms aren't only for balance; they help with momentum too. On uphill sections, pump your arms to help drive you forward . On downhills, keep them out for balance . It feels a bit like tightrope walking but with more speed and excitement. Stay Light on Your Feet Think of your feet as springs, lightly bouncing off the ground. This technique helps reduce the impact on your joints. And makes it easier for you to adapt to changing terrain. Staying light also means you can react faster to unexpected obstacles. Fuel and Hydrate Yourself Trail running takes significantly more out of you from an energy depletion perspective than road running. Bring enough water and snacks to give you energy.
