Rhode Island Foraging Calendar

Rhode Island's small size is offset by a productive coastline that punches above its weight for coastal foraging, with Narragansett Bay's extensive salt marsh and tidal flats providing access to glasswort, sea purslane, and edible seaweeds within a short drive of anywhere in the state. Inland, the state's upland forests produce chanterelles, hen of the woods, and lion's mane in the mixed hardwood-conifer stands of the western hills. Beach plums and highbush blueberries grow in coastal scrub along the south shore, and the state's numerous wildlife refuges and state forests provide foraging access in an otherwise densely developed landscape. Note that ramp harvest is regulated in Rhode Island as the species is listed as a species of special concern in the state.
