Beginner's Foraging and Plant Medicine Workshop with Northwest Natura @ Canyon Creek near Glacier, WA

Learn to forage for wild medicines and bolster your home-made apothecary! In this brand-new workshop, discover common plants and herbs that we can harvest and process into tinctures, salves, and infusions.

Students will learn where to look for these plants, practice identifying them in the field, and work together to create concoctions to take home!

This course is designed for adult (21+) individuals at any skill level who are interested in foraging, plant ID, and wildcrafted salves, tinctures, and teas.

Expect some gentle to moderate hiking, some sun exposure, and some kneeling or squatting.

Class will take place outdoors approximately 50 minutes outside of Bellingham on Mt. Baker Highway (Hwy 542).

Note: Location is dependent on forage availability and is subject to change. Participants will receive information in a detailed reminder email sent a few days prior to the event.

Class Topics include:

Foraging medicinal plants
Leisurely berry picking
Oil infusion technique and practice (some materials provided)
