New Yorkers collect fallen nuts from a Gingko Biloba tree during a foraging tour led by naturalist Steve Brill in Central Park in New York March 14, 2009. To confront the recession, a growing number of Americans are looking outside the traditional economy and turning to bartering, foraging and trash salvaging. "Wildman" Steve Brill, who leads foraging tours through New York's parks, said he's seen more people on his tours. Picture taken March 14, 2009.
