Summer Foraging & Outdoor Cooking with Northwest Natura @ Maple Falls

Please Join Naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a day of foraging out in the woods. This course will take place on private and public property approximately 2 miles from of Maple Falls. Location is subject to change based on seasonal anomalies such as delayed ripening.

We will be foraging berries and other edible or medicinal plants, in addition to any edible mushrooms we may find. For each species, expect short discourse on its edibility or medicinal properties, how to prepare it for medicine or food, and information on its ecology.

Expect moderate walking/hiking with frequent stops, self-led exploration, and a lesson in ethical foraging on public lands.

Using some of our foraged finds, we will cook or bake together over a fire, and we will make a delicious, ice-cold wildcrafted spritzer to enjoy in the summer heat.

This will be a fun outing!

(Please note the location is subject to change based on available plant forage. You will be notified ahead of time if anything changes, and location will not be anywhere outside of Whatcom County or too far off the original target. Thank you in advance for your flexibility and understanding.)
