Spruce & Nettle Foraging Workshop

Saturday April 26th, 2025
Bellingham/Ferndale area - Nooksack River
(Directions will be sent to registered participants a few days prior to the event)
12:00pm to ~5pm

Join Naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a gentle walk along the river to learn how to identify conifers, forage spruce tips, nettles, and wildcraft them into foods and medicines.

There is no elevation gain on this trail, but quite a bit of walking, and a nice period of sitting to craft our concoctions.

Things to bring with you to class:

• Dress for the weather (warm outdoor clothing)

• Your most comfortable walking shoes

• Snacks and water

• Notebook and pen (optional)

• Foraging basket

• Garden gloves (thicker the better. I have some available for borrowing)

• Two medium-large glass jars

• Please bring at least one 12oz and one 16oz jar, both with lids

Northwest Natura is providing:

• Processing equipment

• High quality alcohol for tincture infusions

• Sugars for making syrup

Registered individuals will receive an email a few days prior to the event with driving directions, weather forecast, and a reminder of what to bring with you.
