Steve "Wildman" Brill (born March 10, 1949)[1] is an American forager, naturalist, environmental educator and author.
[3] He later changed his major to psychology, but learned botany, foraging, and gourmet vegan cooking on his own, after college.
In 2011, Brill released an iPhone app called Wild Edibles Forage with Winterroot, which gives information on "250 common North American plants".
Both applications feature Brill's edible plant photos, his botanical illustrations, and hundreds of his vegan whole-foods recipes.
[10] Brill is reported to be the foremost expert in The Northeast foraging and works with nature centers, schools, day camps, libraries, parks departments, land trusts, nature centers, museums, health food stores, farmer's markets, teaching farms, and other organizations, to educate the public on foraging in the Northeastern US.
