Happy Hour(s): Get Into Nature

West Linn, OR

I want to spark your deeper connection to nature. I have studied why aspen leaves quake, prosecuted poachers and polluters in the Columbia River Gorge, zoomed through forests on a scooter while being pulled by dogs, foraged and eaten any number of delicious things, and guided hundreds of humans in experiencing Pacific tidepools, old growth forests, and plenty of wild and feral places in between. Curious? Excellent. Let's go.

“I just signed up and am bringing one of the boys. I still remember how fun it was when you showed Craig and me around the tidepools.”

“KATE. PLEASE MAKE THIS A REGULARLY FILMED ADVENTURE. You talking about fungi is instant calming to my nervous system.”

Meg L.

“You are one of my favorite people to be in nature with! Anyone who joins you will come away from the experience inspired and informed.”

    Forage

    Answer the perennial and primal question, “can I eat it?” Identify and try the food, dyes, and medicines around you, practice ethical foraging techniques, and learn to prepare what at you find. Forage varies seasonally.
