Take a hike (or several!) with a naturalist and trained botanist to learn the names of PNW flora, fungi, fauna in various locations in Whatcom and Skagit County on Public Land and Private land.
NWN’s Naturalist Hiking Classes will focus on experiencing nature through slowing down to notice small details and discussing the “bigger picture”. Each class is an opportunity to exercise, get some fresh air, and nourish our minds. You can treat these classes as a mental health day! Come take a break and experience the outdoors with Northwest Natura.
This is the perfect class for hikers of any skill level, including beginners.
These field trips will be a wonderful gift to give yourself or a loved one this fall and winter. Each class will uplift, inspire thoughts about nature and our place within it. You will feel a sense of rejuvenation from these outings as you get outside and learn more about your home here in the coastal northwest.
