Learn about food forests that Pacific Northwest regional tribes have cultivated since time immemorial and modern urban landscapes as cultural ecosystems. We will explore how to identify, harvest, and prepare many wild berries and nutritious and medicinal “weeds.” Attendees will walk away with tangible ideas for diversifying their schoolyards and other public landscapes with useful native plants, as well as a curriculum that fits best with grades 6–12 learning levels but can be adapted for younger children and adults. We will provide light snacks, coffee and tea; bring your own lunch. Taught by members of the Tend, Gather and Grow team.

Limit 18 participants.

Registration closes July 7, 2023.
