As fall returns to the lush forests of the Pacific Northwest, a remarkable abundance of edible wild plants emerges from the forest floor. More info...
The region's unique ecosystem, with its mild maritime climate and diverse terrain, creates the perfect conditions for an autumn foraging adventure.
Guided by forager and wilderness skills educator, Norther Emily, students will learn key identification techniques and ethical harvesting methods for wild foods such as currant, wild ginger, and false lily of the valley. Norther will share engaging stories and educational insights throughout the day, while students are introduced to over 25 edible, regional plants.
During this guided excursion, students will learn key identification traits, ethical foraging principles, and methods for cooking, preserving and enjoying wild foods. The class is designed for beginners and those looking to enhance their existing foraging practice. Students will gain valuable knowledge to begin developing their own holistic and sustainable approach to wild food harvesting.
