SUMMARY:Sea Vegetables and Other Seashore Edibles of the Pacific Coast
DESCRIPTION:Garibaldi\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nDr. Kallas will lead an expedition to the Pacific coast where participants will learn about\, identify\, and gather samples of wild sea vegetables and seashore edibles during low tide. Find sea vegetables including nori\, kombu\, sea lettuce\, fucus\, alaria\, laminaria\, and more. This event requires climbing up and down some large and potentially slippery rocks to get to the beach\, so mobility is an issue. *End time is just an estimate. \nMeeting Site\nWe’ll meet in the parking area across the street from Lumberman’s Memorial Park\, just south of the large restroom. Here is a MAP to the intersection adjacent to the restroom and its parking area. Turning south onto Garabaldi’s 3rd street gets you to American Avenue\, which gets you to Lumberman’s Park. We’ll meet under the canopy. Be there by 5:40am. From there we will move on to the sea vegetable bed. While waiting\, go into the restroom and empty your bladder prior to our arrival (force yourself – it’s the last chance you will have for almost 3 hours). Wait patiently in the parking area in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon to pick you up and proceed on to the workshop site. You must be there when we arrive or you will miss us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. But note that cell phone service in the coast mountain range is almost non-existent so anyone\, including the instructor\, cannot be reached while traveling there. Low tide is estimated to be around 6:36am. \nWhat to Bring\n\n\nA strong opaque white plastic grocery-style bag with a handle\, which you could hang from your belt using a carabiner\nScissors\, preferably in a belted sheath\nOld wettable tennis shoes. DO NOT wear sandals or flip flops!\nRaingear\, if rain is likely\nWarm layered insulated clothing – you may get wet up to your calves\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in.\n\n\n\n\nA day pack for water and anything you want to carry with you on the beach\nFor the travel home: a towel\, a change of cloths\, a cooler for the food\nNo permit is required for the amount of seavegetables we will be gathering\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books ($25-30 each [sliding scale] list price is $28). We accept cash\, check\, or CC ($1 extra each book for CC fee). Edible Wild Plants\, Volumes 1 and 2 are available after each workshop to look at or buy.\n\n\nWhatever you wear\, it must protect your knees\, shins\, and hands. No sandals\, flip-flops\, or soft-soled water socks unless you love bleeding feet\, ankles\, and shins! Prepare for variable coastal weather! \n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue 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. \nDiscounts\n$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. \nRefund & Transfer Policies\nIf you cannot attend a workshop you registered for\, and you contact us immediately\, or at the latest\, the last weekday before the event\, you are entitled to a transfer or refund minus a $5 processing fee. If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for\, you forfeit the full amount paid. \n\nEnrollment Limited! – Advanced registration reserves you a place in the workshop. Walk-ons may be turned away if our size limit is reached. When registering by mail\, assume a workshop is open unless you see a “FULL” notice posted above. \nRegistration\nDownload the REGISTRATION and WAIVER Forms. Print and fill out these forms and mail them with payment to: Wild Food Adventures\, 422 SE 49th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97215. If there is space and your are a walk-on\, bring the forms and payment with you. While you can register many times throughout the year\, only a single waiver form is required per person per year (Jan 1 – Dec 31) for all our day events. Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nWhile we have never yet had to cancel due to natural or man-made contamination of the area\, such as thing is possible. Coastal lightening would also be dangerous. Rain or wind alone will not stop us. Since these things are outside of our control\, sometimes they are inconvenient. For instance if you rent a place at the coast or have made special plans to bring yourself to this workshop\, we cannot reimburse you for costs you have incurred. You will have to make the best of whatever you have arranged. Also note that it costs Wild Food Adventures about two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, communications\, bookkeeping\, management\, and refunds should a cancellation occur.

SUMMARY:Pacific Shores Wild Food Rendezvous
DESCRIPTION:Rockaway\, Oregon. This 23rd Annual Pacific Shores Rendezvous is an intensive on the role and use of wild harvested seavegetables\, shellfish\, and coastal edible wild plants in everyday life\, recreational foraging\, re-connecting with nature\, self-reliance and survival. \n \nGo HERE for a video of one of our early Rendezvous. \nRockaway\, Oregon.\n$445\, Early registration discounts are listed below.\nA multi-day\, hands-on wild food adventure and teach-in\, learning natural wonders in the context of current realities. The focus of this event is on the roles sea vegetables\, shellfish\, and coastal wild foods can play in one’s diet\, recreational foraging\, self-reliance\, and survival. Participants will learn about\, use\, and gain experience with a variety of wild edibles along with the techniques used to bring them to the table. Everyone attending will share their knowledge\, ideas\, methods\, and wisdom based on their own experiences. Participants arrive and set up on Friday. The program begins Friday evening and ends on Monday noon. Oregon Field Guide\, a human interest outdoor regional program covered the Pacific Shores Rendezvous (formerly called Native Shores) in 2005. We are accomplishing even more over a decade later. \n\nPhotos: 1 and 4 by Chip Belden \n\nEvent Goals\nTo help participants understand the roles that wild foods can play in recreational foraging\, contributing to your everyday diet\, self-reliance\, and survival; to provide hands on experience with some of the most important shellfish\, seavegetables\, plants and processes that could be used in those situations; to provide the opportunity for participants to share and learn from each other regarding their cumulative experiences with wild foods; to promote a sustainable harvest mentality with a strong support of protecting and respecting green\, coastal and wild places; to directly address the great mass of misinformation found in the popular literature and the internet; and to have fun\, make friends\, and connect with people who are interested in the same kinds of things. \nThe Mood We’d Like to Set\nWe want this to be a fun and educational outdoor experience and adventure. We expect everyone to be friendly\, respectful\, encouraging of others\, and open minded. Leave bad attitudes at home. You are welcome to be a lone wolf or be as social as you feel comfortable – as long as you are respectful to others and do your part to make the event successful. We will be together a lot of the time so take the opportunity to get to know people and make friends. \nInstructors\n\nJohn gathering knotweed. Photo: Robert VanCreveld \n\nEveryone attending will share their knowledge\, ideas\, methods\, and wisdom based on their own experiences. Participant skill levels will range from beginner to advanced. All input will be respected as personal experience to be learned from. The main instructor and moderator is Dr. John Kallas\, Director of Wild Food Adventures. Dr. Kallas has a Ph.D. in nutrition and a Masters in education. He is a trained botanist\, nature photographer\, writer\, researcher\, and teacher. John has researched edible wild plants since 1970 and taught in colleges\, universities\, primitive technology conferences\, and to the general public since 1978. He has taught and trained thousands of people about wild foods from all over North America\, and given hundreds of wild food presentations. Dr. Kallas founded the Wild Food Adventures outdoor school in 1993\, edited the Wild Food Adventurer newsletter from 1996 to 2006\, and published Volumes 1 and 2 of the Wild Food Adventures Book Series; “Edible Wild Plants: Wild Foods from Dirt to Plate” in 2010\, and “Edible Wild plants: Wild Foods From Foraging to Feasting” in 2023. Go here to learn more about John. \nWhat is Provided\nTraining\, hands-on experiences\, field trips\, projects\, and wild food discussions will occur throughout the four day event. Camping space is provided. Vehicles are in a separate area from camping. A limited number of rooms are possible in the lodge for an extra charge. You will be responsible for some of your own meals – though much of what we eat will be wild foods gathered by you and other participants. \nWhat to Bring – Here’s a detailed List.\n\n\nWe will be in the same location for four days with access to modern kitchen and bathroom facilities. Beginning on Saturday\, breakfasts and dinners will be provided through Monday morning. You are responsible for 2 sack lunches and snacks. Refrigeration for personal items will not be provided. Bring a plate\, bowl\, drinking cup and utensils for your camp site. Conventional food supplies will be available in town. Wild foods will make up the bulk of our evening meals. We will all improvise recipes to incorporate into our meals. \nOutside of your typical camping gear\, you should consider following: We will travel daily to several gathering sites. Bringing the harvests back to camp for processing and cooking. To gather shellfish\, you are required to have a current Oregon Shellfish Collecting License. This is mandatory! See below for details. It is helpful to bring a small backpack for day trips and a good knife. Prepare for temperatures usually ranging from 40 F to 75 F. Bring clothing for comfort. For coastal forests\, bring rugged but layered hiking cloths and comfortable hiking boots. \nAll seashore clothing should be layered and able to withstand immersion in salt water and protect your body from a fall on sharp rocks. Bring old wetable tennis shoes and very warm layered wool clothing (socks\, pants\, sweaters). If you do not have much wool\, check out thrift stores for old sweaters and pants. Wet suits are generally overkill as most people will only get wet typically up to their knees. Waiders are bulky\, heavy and typically hot to wear. Shorts\, bare feet\, sandals\, and light summer cotton clothing are inadequate for our field trips. \n\n\n\nA current Oregon Shellfish Collecting License\nA clam gun\, razor clam shovel\, or any narrow-bladed shovel\nOne 3 or 5 gallon plastic pail\nOld wettable tennis shoes or grippy thick soled hiking sandals. No flip flops\nWarm layered clothing – you will get wet from the knees down and possibly higher\nScissors in a belted sheath\nGood fitting gardening gloves to protect your hands\nTwo changes of cloths\nSmall daypack\nWater bottle in holster or daypack\nFood for sac lunches\nSnacks\n2 Towels\n\n\n\nIf you have one\, bring either a vacuum release clam gun or a SMALL NARROW garden spade (NEVER a huge farmer’s manure shovel; your goal is to make a quick deep narrow precise hole\, not move huge amounts of earth).\nAn inexpensive spade shovel ($20-$30) is better than a cheap (without vacuum release tubes) clam gun ($25-$80). You can also bring a regular shovel just to try it\, if that is all you have or can borrow. Bring whatever is handy. Do not go out and buy a special “clamming” shovel. If you already have one\, bring it. It is a good shovel for this. Borrow from a friend if you need to.\nClam guns with a vacuum release valve are by far the best digging option. They are much easier on your back\, more efficiently bring up solid shafts of the sand\, faster at digging\, and are better environmentally for the clam beds. They are also the most expensive\, but well worth it if you end up clamming on a regular basis. Far superior to standard clam guns. Stainless Steel Clam Guns with Vacuum release are difficult to find in retail stores even at the coast. All are available online. There are three types of clam guns with vacuum release tubes varying in quality and features. They are the Claminator\, the Clam Hawk and the Clam Vac. Prices range from $150 for top of the line to $96. I use the Claminator\, since I clam regularly\, and it’s design is better suited for digging butter and gaper bay clams then the others. Go here for more information about vacuum release clam guns.\n\nOptional: Bring interesting wild food-related things to share with others in the evenings – books\, processing tools\, stories\, etc. Bring some wild food that you’ve previously prepared\, are proud of making\, and would like to share with the rest of us. Wild flours\, jams\, syrups\, canned foods\, nuts\, beans\, etc.\nPrepare for variable coastal weather! While we hope to go through water at only foot level\, depending on Mother Nature\, you may have to wade through thigh high water\, slog through muck up to your ankles\, and climb over hillsides. It is all in a day’s adventure! \n  \nArrival/Departure Times\nArrive anytime after 4:00 p.m. on Friday May 29\, 2026 – set up camp/meet other participants. This event’s first activities begin with a program around 7:00 pm Friday. The last activity will end by noon Monday\, June 1\, 2026. \nRecreational Shellfish Licenses\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses are now required for anyone 12 and over to collect shellfish in Oregon. In-state licenses are $13/calendar year. Youth (12-17 years old) pay $10. Out of state licenses are $25 for 3 days or $37/year. 3-Day licenses must specify the days you intend to do the collecting. You must carry the License with you during the workshop (in a phone app or a printed copy) or you will only be allowed to watch. If shellfish are found in your possession on the beach and you do not have a license\, the fine is $80 and up. Licenses should be purchased “PRIOR” to our events by going to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife web site. DO NOT wait until the last minute! Here is how to do it: \nSteps to Getting a Shellfish License\nGo to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife web site Or you may be able to do the whole thing from your phone from their “MyODFW” app. I have not tried the phone app route to pay so the directions here are only how to do it on your computer.\nWait until after January 2 of the current year.\nIf you are new\, press: “Create an Account Today”\nCreate a user name & password – Record them since you will use the same account every year when purchasing a license or to open the app.\nIf you already have a digital account\, press: “Verify/Look up your Account”\nFollow the prompts.\nOnce an account is created click\, “Purchase From the Catalog”\nType “Annual Shellfish License” in the search bar.\nClick “Add” to add it to your cart. Then go to your cart to purchase.\nWhen done\, the license will be added to your\, “Recreational Portfolio” for 2024. It is good until December 31 of the year you buy it.\nPrint out or save a pdf copy to your computer.\nOn your phone go to your APP Store and search for “MyODFW”. Add it to your phone apps. Load in your user name and password and it will display your license. Then if you are ever stopped by the coastal authorities you can just pull up the app.\nIf you have trouble understanding the process\, the licensing office number is: 503-947-6101 \nFor more information:\nCall the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6000.\nGeneral Clamming Information: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife\nShellfish Regulations & Limits: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife \nStudent Comments:\n“It was much better than I expected. Processing the food and making the feast was a precious experience\, something I’ll always remember.” \n“I feel like a dry sponge where knowledge of the plants and the forest and native cultures are concerned\, and Pacific Shores was able to fill that need. Instruction was very clear\, which I really appreciate.” \n“I’d actually like to attend that Rendezvous for a week! I wish I could have stayed longer. I had a wonderful time\, I’m totally satisfied and looking forward to more.” Craig Nielsen \n\nEnrollment Limited! – Advanced registration reserves you a place in the Rendezvous. \nRegistration Fees\nFull Registration: $445 (in US dollars) for the full 4 day event.

Beds and rooms are limited and assigned on a first come first serve basis\, combined with relative need. The lodge offers a few basic rooms with two beds and small desks. Sharing a room is also possible. \n\nLodge beds come only with bare mattresses\, so sleeping bags and/or sheets\, blankets\, and pillows must be brought by participants. There are no private baths. We are all responsible for cleaning the rooms we use before we leave – there is no room service or staff. \nHere are the costs to stay in the lodge for the full event:\nPrivate Room for 3 nights: 2 beds = $180 (add $40 for each person more than the 1st 2)\nE-mail us for inquiries. \nIMPORTANT: if you live outside of the US… a personal or local bank check will not be accepted.

PayPal may be an option. Call us for details.\nRefund Policy\nThere is no charge if you cancel before we’ve had the time to process your registration. If that is the case\, upon your approval\, your check will be destroyed and you will have paid nothing.

Print and fill out necessary forms and mail them with payment to John Kallas. \nNote: Due to the nature of these workshops in natural habitats that are out of our control\, we cannot accommodate certain special needs. \nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nDue to warming oceans\, red tides have become more frequent. For the first time in 30 years (so it is rare) the whole coast was closed for about a month in 2024 to any clamming. If a major closure happens during the dates of this event\, we would have to cancel it. Any time we have to cancel an event\, it is a huge inconvenience to all of us. A cancelled Rendezvous costs Wild Food Adventures four to five thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, bookkeeping\, management\, rental fees\, and refunds. It could also cost you\, even if I refund all your money. If you decide to rent nearby lodging at the coast\, incur travel or other expenses\, or plan with other people\, we can not reimburse you or make up for any change in your plans. If we have to cancel\, the only thing you can do is make the best of whatever plans you already made.

SUMMARY:Mahogany & Softshell Clam Dig
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln City\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nWe will have gobs of fun and gather some of the tastiest\, most tender clams you’ll eat. Their shell colors are amazing and worthy of collecting on their own. Mahogany clams are also known as purple varnish clams. Learn how to find\, dig\, transport\, clean\, and prepare mahogany and other soft shell clams during one of the lowest tides this year. Learn gathering regulations\, limits and the tools used to dig them. The times we meet are dictated by when the tides are low enough to for us to reach the clams. End time is just an estimate. \nQuick Links\n\n\nWhat to Bring    |    \nShellfish License   |    \nWhere to Meet   |    \nPayment Information   |    \nRegistration/Waiver   |    \nLocation Map\n\n\nWhat to Bring\nEach person should bring a 2026 Oregon Recreational Shellfish License – Read about licenses below. A license is mandatory for anyone 12 or older! \nDigging Tools:\nNo digging tools are necessary for these clams except your hands. Small short shovels (not hand trowels) may be useful. If your hands are sensitive\, bring gardening gloves that are thin enough to feel small objects but strong enough so they don’t rip while digging in sand. \n\n\n\nA current Oregon Shellfish Collecting License\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in..\nOld wettable tennis shoes\nTowel\nA change of cloths. Your pants will definitely need to be changed after this. While waders would protect your pants mostly\, they are heavy cumbersome and will be hot to wear.\n\n\n\n\nOne 3 or 5 gallon pail per person\nDaypackpack to hold water and other things you want with you on the beach\nWater\nA sac lunch\nSnacks\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books ($25-30 each [sliding scale] list price is $28). We accept cash\, check\, or CC ($1 extra each book for CC fee). Edible Wild Plants\, Volumes 1 and 2 are available after each workshop to look at or buy.\n\n\n\n\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses are now required for anyone 12 and over to collect shellfish in Oregon. In-state licenses are $10/year\, Out of state licenses are $19 for 3 days or $28/year. 3-Day licenses must specify the days you intend to do the collecting. You must carry the License with you during the workshop (in a phone app or a printed copy) or you will only be allowed to watch. If shellfish are found in your possession on the beach and you do not have a license\, the fine is $80 and up. Licenses should be purchased “PRIOR” to our events by going to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife web site. DO NOT wait until the last minute! Here is how to do it: \nSteps to Getting a Shellfish License\nGo to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife web site Or you may be able to do the whole thing from your phone from their “MyODFW” app. I have not tried the phone app route to pay so the directions here are only how to do it on your computer.\nWait until after January 2 of the workshop year of the workshop you register for.\nIf you are new\, press: “Create an Account Today”\nCreate a user name & password – Record them since you will use the same account every year when purchasing a license or to open the app.\nIf you already have a digital account\, press: “Verify/Look up your Account”\nFollow the prompts.\nOnce an account is created click\, “Purchase From the Catalog”\nType “Annual Shellfish License” in the search bar.\nClick “Add” to add it to your cart. Then go to your cart to purchase.\nWhen done\, the license will be added to your\, “Recreational Portfolio” for the current year. It is good until December 31 of the year you buy it.\nPrint out or save a pdf copy to your computer.\nOn your phone go to your APP Store and search for “MyODFW”. Add it to your phone apps. Load in your user name and password and it will display your license. Then if you are ever stopped by the coastal authorities you can just pull up the app.\nIf you have trouble understanding the process\, the licensing office number is: 503-947-6101 \nFor more information:\nCall the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6000.\nGeneral Clamming Information: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife\nShellfish Regulations & Limits: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife \nNote: that a license does not allow us the ability to collect shellfish if there is a marine toxin advisory from the Department of Fish & Wildlife\, The Department of Health\, or the USDA.\n  \nMeet us in Lincoln City\nMeet us in Siletz Bay Park on Hwy 101 at the south end of Lincoln City. Here is a MAP to the site. The parking is somewhat spread out if you don’t get there early. Park in the Siletz Bay parking areas. Do not park in local business parking lots or you will likely be towed. There is a restroom on site. Be there before 8am. The parking is somewhat spread out if you don’t get there early. Park in the Siletz Bay parking areas or across the bridge where there is a lot more parking. Wait patiently in the park in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon for registration and to proceed on to the workshop site. If you miss us or are late\, look down into the bay for a bunch of people on the sand and come to us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. But note that cell phone service in the coast range is almost non-existent so anyone\, including the instructor\, cannot be reached while traveling there. Ocean low tide is estimated to be around 9:12am for this date. \nCarpooling from Portland\nIf you need a ride to the coast\, or prefer carpooling or caravanning\, give us a call. If carpooling is arranged expect to give $10 to the driver to help pay for fuel. \n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue 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. \nDiscounts\n$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. \nRefund & Transfer Policies\nIf you cannot attend a workshop you registered for\, and you contact us immediately\, or at the latest\, the last weekday before the event\, you are entitled to a transfer or refund minus a $5 processing fee. If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for\, you forfeit the full amount paid. \n\nEnrollment Limited! – Advanced registration reserves you a place in the workshop. Walk-ons may be turned away if our size limit is reached. When registering by mail\, assume a workshop is open unless you see a “FULL” notice posted above. \nRegistration\nDownload the REGISTRATION and WAIVER Forms. Print and fill out these forms and mail them with payment to: Wild Food Adventures\, 422 SE 49th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97215. If there is space and your are a walk-on\, bring the forms and payment with you. While you can register many times throughout the year\, only a single waiver form is required per person per year (Jan 1 – Dec 31) for all our day events. Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nDue to warming oceans\, red tides have become more frequent. For the first time in 30 years (so it is rare) the whole coast was closed for about a month in 2024 to any clamming. If a major closure happens during the date of this event\, we would have to cancel it. Any time we have to cancel an event\, it is a huge inconvenience to all of us. A cancelled clamming workshop costs Wild Food Adventures up to two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, bookkeeping\, management\, license fees\, and refunds. It could also cost you\, even if I refund all your money. If you decide to rent nearby lodging at the coast\, incur travel or other expenses\, or plan with other people\, we cannot reimburse you or make up for any change in your plans. If we have to cancel\, the only thing you can do is make the best of whatever plans you already made.

SUMMARY:Butter\, Steamer and Gaper Clam Dig
DESCRIPTION:Netarts\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nNetarts\, Oregon. Learn how to find\, dig\, transport\, clean\, and prepare butter\, steamer\, and gaper clams during one of the lowest tides this year. Learn gathering regulations\, limits and the modern tools used to dig them. The times we meet are dictated by when the tides are low enough to for us to reach the clams. End time is just an estimate. \nQuick Links\n\n\nWhat to Bring    |    \nShellfish License   |    \nWhere to Meet   |    \nPayment Information   |    \nRegistration/Waiver   |    \nLocation Map\n\n\nWhat to Bring\nEach person should bring a 2026 Oregon Recreational Shellfish License – Read about licenses below. A license is mandatory for anyone 12 or older! If you have one\, bring either a clam gun or a SMALL NARROW garden shovel (NOT a huge farmer’s manure shovel; your goal is to make a quick deep narrow precise hole\, not move huge amounts of earth). The narrower\, the better. \nDigging Tools:\nBest\, but most expensive: Clam gun with vacuum release valve ($80-$150).\nThey are much easier on your back\, more efficiently bring up solid shafts of the sand\, faster at digging\, and are better environmentally for the clam beds. They are also the most expensive\, but well worth it if you end up clamming on a regular basis. Clam Guns with Vacuum release are difficult to find in retail stores even if you are at the coast. All are available online. There are three types of clam guns I know of with vacuum release tubes varying in quality and features. They are the Claminator\, the Clam Hawk and the Clam Vac. I use the Claminator\, since I clam regularly\, and it’s design is better suited for digging butter and gaper bay clams then the others in sand or muck. They are also great for razors. Go here for more information about vacuum release clam guns.\nGood and least expensive: Spade shovel ($20-$30)\nMany people have these already or can borrow one. You can also bring a regular shovel just to try it\, if that is all you have or can borrow. Bring whatever is handy. The goal is to dig deep and narrow holes – to move as little sand as possible. Big fat shovels are bad since they force you to move much more sand then necessary and therefore kill a lot of other organisms\, including baby clams living in the sand. \nDO NOT:\n1) Buy a special “clamming” shovel just for this event. They are designed for razor clamming experts and work great for that. While they are great to dig for these clams too\, the narrow flat-bladed spade shovel I’m recommending is cheaper and does a good job. If you already own a razor clam shovel\, it is a great choice\, bring it.\n2) Buy a standard cheap clam gun. They do not have a vacuum release so are very ineffective in the bays. They can work fine for razor clams depending on conditions\, but NOT for the bay clams we are digging for. A narrow bladed shovel is better than a cheap clam gun.\n3) Bring toy shovels\, gardening hand trowels\, short survival shovels\, or big fat manure shovels. Toy hand shovels or gardening hand trowels are only good for infants that are playing in the sand\, not clamming. \n \n\n\n\nA current Oregon Shellfish Collecting License\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in..\nWarm layered insulating clothing (wool is best\, cotton is worst) that can get wet and dirty – you knees and arms up to your shoulders will get wet and dirty.\nOld wettable tennis shoes\nTowel\nA change of cloths\n\n\n\n\nOne 3 or 5 gallon pail per person\nBackpack\nWater\nA sac lunch\nSnacks\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books ($25-30 each [sliding scale] list price is $28).

Load in your user name and password and it will display your license. Then if you are ever stopped by the coastal authorities you can just pull up the app.\nIf you have trouble understanding the process\, the licensing office number is: 503-947-6101 \nFor more information:\nCall the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6000.\nGeneral Clamming Information: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife\nShellfish Regulations & Limits: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife \nNote: that a license does not allow us the ability to collect shellfish if there is a marine toxin advisory from the Department of Fish & Wildlife\, The Department of Health\, or the USDA.\n  \nMeet us in Tillamook\nMeet us in Tillamook at the NW corner of the Safeway Parking lot adjacent to Stillwell Ave and 3rd street: Be there before 7:45am and wait patiently – see map. The Safeway typically opens by 5am\, so go into their bathroom and empty your bladder prior to our arrival (force yourself – it’s the last chance you will have for almost 3 hours). Don’t park in the surrounding streets. Wait patiently in the parking lot in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon to pick you up and proceed on to the workshop site. You must be there when we arrive or you will miss us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. But note that cell phone service in the coast range is almost non-existent so anyone\, including the instructor\, cannot be reached while traveling there. Ocean low tide is estimated to be around 8:37am for this date. \nCarpooling from Portland\nIf you need a ride to the coast\, or prefer carpooling or caravanning\, give us a call. If carpooling is arranged expect to give $10 to the driver to help pay for fuel. \n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue 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. \nDiscounts\n$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. \nRefund & Transfer Policies\nIf you cannot attend a workshop you registered for\, and you contact us immediately\, or at the latest\, the last weekday before the event\, you are entitled to a transfer or refund minus a $5 processing fee. If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for\, you forfeit the full amount paid. \n\nEnrollment Limited! – Advanced registration reserves you a place in the workshop. Walk-ons may be turned away if our size limit is reached. When registering by mail\, assume a workshop is open unless you see a “FULL” notice posted above. \nRegistration\nDownload the REGISTRATION and WAIVER Forms. Print and fill out these forms and mail them with payment to: Wild Food Adventures\, 422 SE 49th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97215. If there is space and your are a walk-on\, bring the forms and payment with you. While you can register many times throughout the year\, only a single waiver form is required per person per year (Jan 1 – Dec 31) for all our day events. Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nDue to warming oceans\, red tides have become more frequent. For the first time in 30 years (so it is rare) the whole coast was closed for about a month in 2024 to any clamming. If a major closure happens during the date of this event\, we would have to cancel it. Any time we have to cancel an event\, it is a huge inconvenience to all of us. A cancelled clamming workshop costs Wild Food Adventures up to two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, bookkeeping\, management\, license fees\, and refunds. It could also cost you\, even if I refund all your money. If you decide to rent nearby lodging at the coast\, incur travel or other expenses\, or plan with other people\, we cannot reimburse you or make up for any change in your plans. If we have to cancel\, the only thing you can do is make the best of whatever plans you already made.

Rendezvous have their own rates. \nDiscounts\n$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.

Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nDue to warming oceans\, red tides have become more frequent. For the first time in 30 years (so it is rare) the whole coast was closed for about a month in 2024 to any clamming. If a major closure happens during the date of this event\, we would have to cancel it. Any time we have to cancel an event\, it is a huge inconvenience to all of us. A cancelled clamming workshop costs Wild Food Adventures up to two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, bookkeeping\, management\, license fees\, and refunds. It could also cost you\, even if I refund all your money. If you decide to rent nearby lodging at the coast\, incur travel or other expenses\, or plan with other people\, we cannot reimburse you or make up for any change in your plans. If we have to cancel\, the only thing you can do is make the best of whatever plans you already made.

SUMMARY:Sea Vegetables and Other Seashore Edibles of the Pacific Coast
DESCRIPTION:THIS WORKSHOP IS FULL. Registrations are no longer being accepted. Our June 13th Seavegetable workshop is still open: Go HERE for more information. \nGaribaldi\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nDr. Kallas will lead an expedition to the Pacific coast where participants will learn about\, identify\, and gather samples of wild sea vegetables and seashore edibles during low tide. Find sea vegetables including nori\, kombu\, sea lettuce\, fucus\, alaria\, laminaria\, and more. This event requires climbing up and down some large and potentially slippery rocks to get to the beach\, so mobility is an issue. *End time is just an estimate. \nMeeting Site\nWe’ll meet in the parking area across the street from Lumberman’s Memorial Park\, just south of the large restroom. Here is a MAP to the intersection adjacent to the restroom and its parking area. Turning south onto Garabaldi’s 3rd street gets you to American Avenue\, which gets you to Lumberman’s Park. Be there under the canopy by 7:35am. From there we will move on to the sea vegetable bed. While waiting\, go into the restroom and empty your bladder prior to our arrival (force yourself – it’s the last chance you will have for almost 3 hours). Wait patiently in the parking area in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon to pick you up and proceed on to the workshop site. You must be there when we arrive or you will miss us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. But note that cell phone service in the coast mountain range is almost non-existent so anyone\, including the instructor\, cannot be reached while traveling there. Low tide is estimated to be around 8:41am. \nWhat to Bring\n\n\nA strong opaque white plastic grocery-style bag with a handle\, which you could hang from your belt using a carabiner\nScissors\, preferably in a belted sheath\nOld wettable tennis shoes. DO NOT wear sandals or flip flops!\nRaingear\, if rain is likely\nWarm layered clothing – you may get wet up to your calves\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in.\n\n\n\n\nA day pack for water and anything you want to carry with you on the beach\nFor the travel home: a towel\, a change of cloths\, a cooler for the food\nNo permit is required for the amount of seavegetables we will be gathering\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books. $25-30 each\, sliding scale\, (list price is $28) cash\, check\, or CC ($1 extra each book for CC fee). Edible Wild Plants\, Volumes 1 and/or 2. They will be available after the workshop to look at or buy.\n\n\nWhatever you wear\, it must protect your knees\, shins\, and hands. No sandals\, flip-flops\, or soft-soled water socks unless you love bleeding feet\, ankles\, and shins! Prepare for variable coastal weather!\n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue 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.

Coastal lightening would also be dangerous. Rain or wind alone will not stop us. Since these things are outside of our control\, sometimes they are inconvenient. For instance if you rent a place at the coast or have made special plans to bring yourself to this workshop\, we cannot reimburse you for costs you have incurred. You will have to make the best of whatever you have arranged. Also note that it costs Wild Food Adventures about two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, communications\, bookkeeping\, management\, and refunds should a cancellation occur.

SUMMARY:Mahogany & Softshell Clam Dig
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln City\, Oregon.\n$35 – $60 sliding scale\, children pay their age\, see details.\nWe will have gobs of fun and gather some of the tastiest\, most tender clams you’ll eat. Their shell colors are amazing. Mahogany clams are also known as purple varnish clams. Learn how to find\, dig\, transport\, clean\, and prepare mahogany and other soft shell clams during one of the lowest tides this year. Learn gathering regulations\, limits and the tools used to dig them. The times we meet are dictated by when the tides are low enough to for us to reach the clams. End time is just an estimate. \nQuick Links\n\n\nWhat to Bring    |    \nShellfish License   |    \nWhere to Meet   |    \nPayment Information   |    \nRegistration/Waiver   |    \nLocation Map\n\n\nWhat to Bring\nEach person should bring a 2026 Oregon Recreational Shellfish License – Read about licenses below. A license is mandatory for anyone 12 or older! \nDigging Tools:\nNo digging tools are necessary for these clams except your hands. If your hands are sensitive\, bring gardening gloves that are thin enough to feel small objects but strong enough so they don’t rip while digging in sand. \n\n\n\nA current Oregon Shellfish Collecting License\nAny remaining registration materials that you need to hand in..\nOld wettable tennis shoes\nTowel\nA change of cloths. Your pants will definitely need to be changed after this. While waders would protect your pants mostly\, they are heavy cumbersome and will be hot to wear.\n\n\n\n\nOne 3 or 5 gallon pail per person\nDaypackpack to hold water and other things you want with you on the beach\nWater\nA sac lunch\nSnacks\nMoney if you want to buy John’s books ($25-30 each [sliding scale] list price is $28).

Edible Wild Plants\, Volumes 1 and 2 are available after each workshop to look at or buy.\n\n\n\n\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses\nRecreational Shellfish Licenses are now required for anyone 12 and over to collect shellfish in Oregon. In-state licenses are $10/year\, Out of state licenses are $19 for 3 days or $28/year. 3-Day licenses must specify the days you intend to do the collecting. You must carry the License with you during the workshop (in a phone app or a printed copy) or you will only be allowed to watch. If shellfish are found in your possession on the beach and you do not have a license\, the fine is $80 and up. Licenses should be purchased “PRIOR” to our events by going to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife web site. DO NOT wait until the last minute! Here is how to do it: \nSteps to Getting a Shellfish License\nGo to the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife web site Or you may be able to do the whole thing from your phone from their “MyODFW” app. I have not tried the phone app route to pay so the directions here are only how to do it on your computer.\nWait until after January 2 of the workshop year of the workshop you register for.\nIf you are new\, press: “Create an Account Today”\nCreate a user name & password – Record them since you will use the same account every year when purchasing a license or to open the app.\nIf you already have a digital account\, press: “Verify/Look up your Account”\nFollow the prompts.\nOnce an account is created click\, “Purchase From the Catalog”\nType “Annual Shellfish License” in the search bar.\nClick “Add” to add it to your cart. Then go to your cart to purchase.\nWhen done\, the license will be added to your\, “Recreational Portfolio” for the current year. It is good until December 31 of the year you buy it.\nPrint out or save a pdf copy to your computer.\nOn your phone go to your APP Store and search for “MyODFW”. Add it to your phone apps. Load in your user name and password and it will display your license. Then if you are ever stopped by the coastal authorities you can just pull up the app.\nIf you have trouble understanding the process\, the licensing office number is: 503-947-6101 \nFor more information:\nCall the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at 800-720-6339 or 503-947-6000.\nGeneral Clamming Information: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife\nShellfish Regulations & Limits: Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife \nNote: that a license does not allow us the ability to collect shellfish if there is a marine toxin advisory from the Department of Fish & Wildlife\, The Department of Health\, or the USDA.\n  \nMeet us in Lincoln City\nMeet us in Siletz Bay Park on Hwy 101 at the south end of Lincoln City. Here is a MAP to the site. Be there before 8am. The parking is somewhat spread out if you don’t get there early. Park in the Siletz Bay parking areas or across the bridge where there is a lot more parking. Do not park in local business parking lots or you will likely be towed. There is a restroom on site. Wait patiently in the park in case we get delayed\, get to know the other participants\, read a book\, change into your beach cloths and shoes. We’ll swing by soon for registration and to proceed on to the workshop site. If you miss us or are late\, look down into the bay for a bunch of people on the sand and come to us. Make sure we have your cell phone number if you have one (in case of an emergency)! Program our number 503-775-3828 into your cell phone. But note that cell phone service in the coast range is almost non-existent so anyone\, including the instructor\, cannot be reached while traveling there. Ocean low tide is estimated to be around 9:12am for this date. \nCarpooling from Portland\nIf you need a ride to the coast\, or prefer carpooling or caravanning\, give us a call. If carpooling is arranged expect to give $10 to the driver to help pay for fuel. \n\nPricing Details\nSliding Scale Economics\nDue 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. \nDiscounts\n$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.

Rendezvous have their own rates. \nRefund & Transfer Policies\nIf you cannot attend a workshop you registered for\, and you contact us immediately\, or at the latest\, the last weekday before the event\, you are entitled to a transfer or refund minus a $5 processing fee. If you do not show up the day of a workshop you registered for\, you forfeit the full amount paid. \n\nEnrollment Limited! – Advanced registration reserves you a place in the workshop. Walk-ons may be turned away if our size limit is reached. When registering by mail\, assume a workshop is open unless you see a “FULL” notice posted above. \nRegistration\nDownload the REGISTRATION and WAIVER Forms. Print and fill out these forms and mail them with payment to: Wild Food Adventures\, 422 SE 49th Ave\, Portland\, OR 97215. If there is space and your are a walk-on\, bring the forms and payment with you. While you can register many times throughout the year\, only a single waiver form is required per person per year (Jan 1 – Dec 31) for all our day events. Multi-day Rendezvous require an additional waiver. \n\nCancellation Due to Nature Or Contaminated Runoff\nDue to warming oceans\, red tides have become more frequent. For the first time in 30 years (so it is rare) the whole coast was closed for about a month in 2024 to any clamming. If a major closure happens during the date of this event\, we would have to cancel it. Any time we have to cancel an event\, it is a huge inconvenience to all of us. A cancelled clamming workshop costs Wild Food Adventures up to two thousand dollars in time\, advertising\, bookkeeping\, management\, license fees\, and refunds. It could also cost you\, even if I refund all your money. If you decide to rent nearby lodging at the coast\, incur travel or other expenses\, or plan with other people\, we cannot reimburse you or make up for any change in your plans. If we have to cancel\, the only thing you can do is make the best of whatever plans you already made.
