Ethnobotany Tour at Sugarloaf Mountain
Saturday May 10th, 2025
Sugarloaf Mountain Ethnobotany
Anacortes Community Forest
12:30pm to 5:00pm
Join Salish Sea Naturalist and Outdoor Educator, Jazmen Yoder on a hike to Sugarloaf Mountaintop while learning about traditional and modern uses of PNW native plants.
Anacortes Community Forest has incredible plant diversity. This tour will focus on edible and medicinal coastal prairie and mixed forest plant species and show you how to identify them. You will learn a ton about each plant including edible and medicinal uses, and traditional harvest, cooking, and agricultural techniques.
There is some elevation gain on this hike, but we will be stopping frequently to botanize.
Key takeaways:
Plant identification skills
Learn which species would be appropriate to forage for food or medicine and which should be left alone and admired based on their ecological role, restoration status, and/or cultural significance to indigenous peoples.
Guided plant identification notes from the instructor using a whiteboard at each stop
Find community outdoors with nature-loving folks on this hike through the forest to Salish Sea vistas!
Things to bring with you to class:
Dress for the weather (layers)
Wear good hiking shoes
Snacks/lunch and water
Notebook and pen (optional)
Binoculars (optional)
