Join us as we meander through a variety of habitats similar to those traversed by the Lewis & Clark expedition on their way to the Pacific coast. Most of these plants can be found in your own local forests, fields, and neighborhoods. Learn identification, use, and preparation.
Oregon City itself was best known for the settlers that followed Lewis & Clark in the mid 1800s. Artifacts and exhibits featured at the End of the Oregon Trail Interpretive Center are mostly about those settlers and early settlements. The actual end of the Lewis & Clark trip was at Fort Clatsop on the coast. We will not be at the interpretive center.

Sliding Scale Economics
Due to hard economic times for some, sliding scales are offered to support individual financial circumstances. We ask participants to pay what they feel they can afford within the range offered for each workshop. You decide what to pay using an honest assessment of your individual circumstances. We do not ask anyone to explain their very personal decision. The high end is a very reasonable price for these quality workshops for those who are doing well in this economy. Groups must contact us for circumstance-specific rates. Rendezvous have their own rates.
Discounts
$5 Discounts are available on our Registration Form for adult family members that attend together, persons identifying as indigenous, full time college students and scout leaders. Children (17 and under) must be accompanied by their parent(s). Children under 7 are free. Children 7 and above pay their age. Classrooms and teachers with students are not eligible for these discounts and must contact us for circumstance-specific rates. Rendezvous have their own rates.

If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for, you forfeit the full amount paid.
