wild harvesting
Collecting untended plants
Wild harvesting is gathering plants, fungi, or other natural materials from uncultivated areas rather than farms or gardens.
The practice covers everything from foraging berries and mushrooms to collecting medicinal herbs: Wild harvesting ginseng has depleted natural populations.
Also called wildcrafting, especially when the harvest is for herbal or medicinal use.
