"Wild weed" foraging?

[Catlyn]

How far away should i go from the city/roads etc so that the plant matter that i collect for my bun would not be too contaminated by all the traffic?
My lady and i have beeniving in the city for almost an entire year now. Spring has hit strongly and i've seen an abundance of dandelions around.
Therefore, i was planning to bike out of the city to go forage for her whenever i get a rare day off any duties.
Though i am not entirely sure how deep out of the city outskirts would be safe enough to forage.

Since food is grown right next to roads, i don't think this is as much of an issue as one might think. I keep 2-3m away from roads when foraging, mostly because of dogs and sometimes people peeing everywhere, more of a disgust issue than health concerns.

When there are weeds growing, and insects crawling around, it's ok for me. Close to high maintanence crop fields, like corn, was more of a concern to me back when I lived at the outskirts of the city.

I agree with Preitler, even with vehicles driving past, I would just forage about 2 metres from the sides, I don't think you'd need to go too far out from the city, just till you start to see more greenery and such, I wouldn't go near any big commercial crop paddocks outside the city, due to the pesticides and what not that get sprayed and spread in the wind. I would just go to the outskirts of the city where the greenery is becoming more abundant

go to the outskirts of the city where the greenery is becoming more abundant to eat is great.if near the city,Plants and crops are at risk of contamination with pesticides.my bunnies ' lives will be in danger.

I just avoid next to the sidewalk or road (I'm in a suburb in the US) because people walk dogs that likely eliminate around these areas.

Otherwise, I just walk through the yard & pick stuff that looks good, or go to the wooded area out back. I always wash everything well before giving to my buns. The primary risk is likely contamination from racoon feces, but we don't have many of those here.

My behavior would change if RHVD was in my state and my rabbits were unvaccinated, though... I'm not sure what risks may exist in East Europe.
