New Hampshire Foraging Calendar

New Hampshire's small size belies its foraging richness, with the White Mountain highlands, the central lake country, and a short but productive Atlantic coastline offering three distinct foraging environments within a few hours of each other. The state's White Mountains support boreal-zone foraging including wild blueberries, cranberries on the bogs, and fiddlehead ferns along every stream, while the lower-elevation hardwood forests produce chanterelles, hen of the woods, and ramps. The Seacoast region adds access to edible seaweeds and coastal plants not found in the interior. New Hampshire has no formal state foraging permit system and generally permissive access on state forests, though collecting is prohibited in state parks.
