Naturalist Hike – Seaweeds of the Salish Sea with Northwest Natura

Join Jazmen Yoder, Salish Sea Naturalist on the beach to learn about seaweeds and other presentations of nature we might find!

We’ll follow the tide out (12:36pm lowest) and will see all 3 classes of seaweed (green, brown, and red) in their prostrate and floating habitats. You will learn how to identify them and their ethnophycology (human uses of seaweeds) + ethics & safety around foraging + historical and cultural importance intertidal ecosystems.

This is a naturalist “hike” but it’s more like a wander – expect to focus on seaweeds, but also learn about wildlife including track & sign, native plants, and natural history of the PNW.

Sorry, no pets!
