If we sustain a good population of herbs in the wild, we and our children can continue to benefit, economically and medicinally. In south central Kentucky where I harvest, I've done some wild replanting, and advocated that woodland owners get a share from wild ginseng. Lately we've been doing some work on a creek bank. The creek runs alongside a woods, but on the other side are cattle causing erosion. I'm publishing a booklet about wild ginseng hunting.
Profits help preserve a woods.
