Take a hike (or several!) with a naturalist and trained botanist to learn the names of PNW flora, fungi, fauna in various locations in Whatcom and Skagit County on Public Land and Private land. NWN's Naturalist Hiking Classes will focus on experiencing nature through slowing down to notice small details and discussing the “bigger picture”. Each class is an opportunity to exercise, get some fresh air, and nourish our minds. You can treat these classes as a mental health day!
Come take a break and experience the outdoors with Northwest Natura. This is the perfect class for hikers of any skill level, including beginners. In these classes: Hike beautiful landscapes (expect elevation gain but with frequent breaks). Learn how to identify mushrooms, plants including PNW trees, birds, and wildlife track and sign. Learn the secrets of each species identified - ethnobotany, ecological role, folklore, medicinal uses, edibility/toxicity, and more.
