This is known as wildcrafting, and is becoming a popular pastime. If you're one of the many Pagans or Wiccans who enjoys working with herbs, you may want to look into wildcrafting.

Another thing to watch out for when wildcrafting, is plants like Poison Ivy and Poison Oak,. Wandering into a patch of this can cause a really bad (itchy, painful, and spreadable) rash. Also critters like Ticks, Chiggers, and Biting Flies can be annoying, so use an insect repellant.
