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.




42 Great Steemit Foraging Posts

These 42 posts were put on the Steemit blockchain in just over 2 weeks! The authors were great in this group of posts - they gave us their own images, experiences, insights, and perspectives. That makes this Steemit content unique and valuable!

The Foraging Trail aims 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 Foraging-Trail on Discord!

This is the 9th published list of curated foraging posts. Some great things to note about this list of posts. There are 42 posts from 24 different people, with 12 authors new to the @foraging-trail, and 12 repeat authors.

There is incredible value in these 42 posts! If you haven’t seen them yet, I urge you to read them. Even though the payout period is closed for many of these posts, you can still make comments on them. I strongly encourage you to leave your foraging questions and comments in these posts. That’s how we learn and get to know each other. And check out the blogs for these authors, too, to see what they've been doing recently.

These 42 foraging posts generated $377.65 in total payouts to authors and curators, for an average payout of $8.99 per post. That's great for having so many new Steemians on this list, and the incredible rise in the number of posts on Steemit overall this past month that make visibility difficult for almost everyone!

With all the bots and vote trails, reporting on the upvotes generated by these posts doesn't have much meaning. Instead, because the @foraging-trail is about building a Steemit community, it's better to look at metrics for community interaction.

What about community interaction? These posts had 1259 comments, or over 30 comments/post on average, and a median of 18 comments. How does 18 comments/post compare to what you are creating or reading? According to steempunks.com run by @ontofractal, the average is 5 comments/post over the past month.

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. Then you can 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.

What's Next

The Foraging Trail will continue to upvote and resteem quality foraging posts. Starting in mid-August, there will be other activities, too -- contests, badges, and more! So now is a good time to start following the @foraging-trail and get to know the foragers of Steemit- and the future foragers!

There's more than a lifetime's worth of learning about foraging for food and crafts, so we can all learn from each other -- and be inspired to get out to appreciate nature's bounty. Even if you have never foraged for anything, your thoughts about foraging are valued here on the Foraging Trail!

Let's make Steemit the premier foraging community on the Internet. How can you help?

  1. Support the creators making quality foraging posts by upvoting them when they get resteemed by the @foraging-trail. Any post less than 7 days old will benefit from your upvote.
  2. Start writing about foraging topics and post them with the Foraging tag! You can find out more about the Steemit Foraging community and guidelines for being upvoted by the @foraging-trail here and here.
  3. Volunteer with SteemTrail to help curate posts about Foraging. If you want to help, join the Foraging-Trail on Discord
  4. Stay tuned for updates. If you follow @foraging-trail here on Steemit, you’ll see them.

I hope to see you on the Foraging Trail! Happy Foraging!


Note: All author rewards from this post will be used to fund @foraging-trail and SteemTrail. The SBD portion supports the larger SteemTrail initiative. The SP stays with the @foraging-trail to increase its upvote payout power. Foraging posts by @haphazard-hstead, the curator of the Foraging Trail, are not upvoted by the @foraging-trail. This allows the @foraging-trail to use its voting power to reward other authors at the maximum power available.

@progressivechef

Very interesting how you are doing this. i was thinking of something similar with one of the healthy food topics - I think I would only put the top 10 maybe - this looks like a huge project.

Do you notify the people that you do this list when you do it? I was thinking I would comment on the posts I include, but that would be too much work with your list.

Great effort - any advice gratefully accepted on how you pull this off. Upvoted :)
