THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL. Other forest workshops around Portland include May 10th and September 26th. In Eugene there is a forest workshop on May 23.
$40
Learn about the edible plants found in deep pacific northwest forests. Spring is when wildflowers are blooming and wild greens are ripe for picking. See plants like wild violet, Solomon’s seal, fairly bells, licorice fern, various fiddleheads, wild ginger and many more. Learn the many ways they can be used as food. Explore one of the more beautiful forests in Portland’s own backyard. Due to the Forest Centers higher elevation, many of the spring plants that are done at sea level will still be young.
John Kallas, wild food expert, will be leading this event.
