Cascadia Ethnobotany Club
Providing a place where people of all skill
levels can come together to practice and share knowledge wild
edible plants.
The goals of the Ethnobotany Club are:
- to increase our knowledge of the edibility and other uses
of plants in the Cascadia bioregion
- to explore various locations and habitats to see what
edible plants are present, and to learn which areas might
sustain us the easiest
- to explore how to harvest plants efficiently and how best
to process and cook them
- to increase the health of the plant communities we visit
Our meetings consist of trips to various
locations in and around the Portland area.
In order to provide a space where everybody
can both learn and share their own knowledge, trips will be
in the style of a club, not a class. People of all skill levels
are encouraged to come, but come expecting to take charge
of your own learning.
