Wild Berry Picking, Sunshine Coast, BC


Local Sunshine Coast Wild Berries

While there is certainly no shortage of the invasive Himalayan blackberries (nearly every road is lined with this fast growing plant), there is a native blackberry that ripens earlier. The berries tend to be smaller, but I think tastier.

Take a drive up logging roads, find a fairly recently logged area, and venture forth. These areas that were logged a couple of years ago tend to be rich with not only native trailing blackberries, but also raspberries, huckleberries, salmonberries. Munch away, and bring a bucket or two home with you.
