BIPOC Walks: Local Edible Plants

Are you curious about edible plants, but don’t know where to start? Join us to learn about the guidelines of honorable harvest, and go on a plant-focused walk centered around a few key species of local edible plants. We will also discuss some traditional harvest practices of local Indigenous groups, who have been utilizing countless plants and actively managing food forests in our region since time immemorial. 

We will wrap up with some time to share food in community - we will bring a few treats - but please feel free to bring a snack or drink to share potluck style! Our program is free/donation based, but online registration is required to receive directions to our exact meeting location. To learn more or register go to www.wildwhatcom.org/bipoc-walks

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
