Meet Jenna Rozelle

Jenna Rozelle is a Maine-based forager and wild food educator. She offers education for people who want to learn how to safely, ethically, and practically incorporate wild foods into their lives. Beyond food, she is interested in fostering relationships between people and their local landscapes — aiming to erase that imaginary line between human and environment.

She serves on the board of the New England chapter of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers where she has recently helped develop an outdoor mentoring program.

Jenna is also a proud ambassador of the apparel company Hunt to Eat.
