Gatherer is a community map for foragers, hikers, and nature lovers. Find, share, and track the best natural spots, from sprawling blackberry brambles to scenic waterfalls.
Every August in the Pacific Northwest, a quiet miracle happens. Along bike paths, in forgotten alleyways, and at the edges of parks, blackberry brambles hang heavy with fruit, free for the taking. It's a reminder of the abundance that surrounds us, hiding in plain sight. Yet, so much of it goes unnoticed.
Gatherer was born from this simple observation. What if we could share this knowledge? What if we could create a map of this natural pantry, not just for blackberries, but for every wild edible the land offers? This is more than just an app—it's a community movement to improve food security, encourage local exploration, and reconnect us with the world around us. By sharing our discoveries, we can help ensure that this abundance is appreciated, respected, and enjoyed by all.
