Steemit foragers really know how to appreciate nature's wild bounty! Check out the third report from the Foraging-Trail.
Introduction
The Foraging-Trail is a SteemTrail project to grow an engaged community of people within Steemit, who are interested in foraging for food and crafts. That means making posts and comments where we all can learn, share our thoughts about foraging, and show our field trips, harvests, and what we do with nature’s wild bounty.
The long-term goal is that people will join Steemit to be part of specific communities – like Foraging - because they are so active, engaging, and supportive. Focused Steemit communities will provide more structure for getting new people connected easily, without drifting away in confusion or frustration.
17 More Days of Steemit Foraging
It's been 17 days since our second report on the SteemTrail Foraging Trail. The curation process seems to be going more smoothly. Authors have generally been good about providing the source for their images and quoted text. That's appreciated! The Foraging Trail tries to discover new authors posting original foraging content and to support the community's regular authors, too. Right now, @haphazard-hstead is the only curator. If you are interested in helping out, join the steemtrail chat channel!
This is the third published list of curated foraging posts. Some great things to note about this list. Look at how many foraging posts there were in the last 17 days – 23 posts from 15 different people, and again, 7 are new to the @foraging-trail.
There is incredible value in these 23 posts! If you haven’t seen them yet, I urge you to read and upvote them – they are all still within their 30-day earnings period. And I encourage you to leave some comments. That’s how we learn and get to know each other.
These 23 foraging posts generated 4136 upvotes and $296.60 in total payouts, for an average post payout of $12.90 to authors and curators, with an average of almost 180 upvotes/post.
What about community interaction? These posts had 374 comments, or over 16 comments/post on average. How does 16 comments/post compare to what you are creating or reading? And foraging posts are getting shared, with 11 total reblogs in addition to being resteemed on the @foraging-trail page.
Congratulations to all the authors! Thank you, everyone, for your upvotes and support of these posts. Please consider following the many authors whose work is featured here. If you follow the @foraging-trail, too, you can see the curation in real time, easily upvote the curated posts to support our Steemit foraging writers, and you won’t miss some great foraging posts. Don’t forget to comment and upvote comments as well – it really shows appreciation of each other within our community.
Foraging-Trail Curated Posts
Some other accomplishments - Foraging posts are getting a lot of attention here on Steemit, if not as much reward as they should. Some of the individual posts showed up in the top 25 posts by net votes with rewards less than 10 SBD, in the advanced steem metrics series by @ontofractal. And some appeared in the series by @screenname that identifies the most undervalued posts on Steemit.
What's Next
Over the next two weeks, let’s keep the momentum going! We are on our way to becoming the premier foraging community on the Internet. How can you help?
- Start writing about foraging topics and post them with the Foraging tag! You can find out more here and here.
- Support the creators making posts with the Foraging tag by upvoting and/or commenting.

Hello, great posts. I have added a new one to this trail. If you think foraging for eggs sounds like a jump, let me know what trail you think it would do better in.

Also, I went to the room on steemchat and it looks just like a promotion room. However, I would be happy to help one of the curation trails that would like some help.
Thanks for the heads-up about the Steemit.chat room. I have changed the post to point to the Foraging Trail on the Discord server. The link will put you into the Foraging Channel, but there are others you can get involved with - from health to languages, technology to philosophy, and more.
That's a nice post! It seems more appropriate for the gardening-trail, though. It should do well there. If you can change one of the tags to gardening, that should work well. And I'll send it over the @gardening-trail for curation.
Will do.
goods finds. ^^
Thanks! Steemit has some great foragers!
