Naturalist Hike – Rivers & Wildlife with Northwest Natura

Deming, WA
(precise location disclosed to registered participants 3-4 days prior to event)

Join me next to the Nooksack river on one of Whatcom County’s hidden gem trails to learn about and appreciate beautiful organisms we find on our walk.

This course is loosely focused on “rivers & wildlife” but we’ll talk about whatever we find, including mushrooms and plants!

This will be a slow “hike” with zero elevation gain. Come out to “get your steps in” while learning about fungi, flora, and fauna from local botanist and naturalist, Jazmen Yoder.

Each plant, mushroom, lichen, or wildlife track/sign we ID will include interesting information beyond how to identify them, but also their historical significance, medicinal uses, and ecological significance.

What to Bring:
-Dress for the weather
-Snacks and water
-Notepad and pen (optional)
-Binoculars (optional)
