Spring Foraging & Outdoor Cooking with Northwest Natura @ Northwest Natura Land
Tickets
Apr 6 @ 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Spring Foraging & Outdoor Cooking with Northwest Natura @ Northwest Natura Land

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 east of Maple Falls.

What to expect:

The first part of class will be a walk in the woods foraging for various edible plants and mushrooms. For each species, we’ll talk about how to identify it, it’s edibility or medicinal properties, how to prepare it for medicine or food, and how we could use it in our meal later.

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

In the second portion of this course, we will build a fire and cook together with the plants we foraged. Using unique recipes, we’ll combine our efforts in producing beautiful culinary arts with a campfire and cast iron.

These classes are offered on several dates and as the month progresses, new plants will become available. Thus, each course aims to incorporate different recipes and ingredients. Signing up for all three classes offers a discount of $50.

(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 for understanding.)

Bellingham Beer Week Block Party @ Stones Throw Brewery
  1. It’s Bellingham Beer Week, and we’re throwing a Mini-Block Party on Friday, April 25th, from 5 PM to 8 PM in Historic Fairhaven Village – and you’re invited! Come for the beer, stay for the good times, and maybe even show off your best dance moves (we promise we won’t judge).

? What’s on tap? We’ll be serving up our flagship and seasonal craft beers, including our annual collab beer with Bellingham Homebrewers Guild – a session IPA! If you love local beer, this is your chance to sip something special.

? Live Music: The incredible Danned if We Do will be playing all the best danceable hits from the 70s and 80s – basically, the kind of tunes that make you want to grab a beer in one hand and a dance partner in the other.

? Tasty Eats: You can’t party on an empty stomach! Galley 2 Go will be on-site, serving up delicious food to keep you fueled for an evening of fun.

Bellingham Beer Week is an 11-day celebration of our city’s amazing craft beer scene, leading up to the grand finale – April Brews Day, Bellingham’s biggest beer festival. So why not kick off the weekend with us?
