Name: Naturalist Hike - Plants & Fungi Foray with Northwest Natura
Start: 2026-09-26
End: 2026-09-26
Location: Stimpson Family Nature Reserve

Join me in late September for a walk in the woods searching for edible and medicinal plants & mushrooms, and to get a jump on mushroom season by discussing fungi ecology and keeping our eye out for all the early specimens!

This is a walk in the woods where we’ll be stopping a lot to identify edible and medicinal plants and fungi we find. There is no foraging allowed at this forest reserve. Keep your eye out for mushroom foraging courses with Northwest Natura happening in October (TBA!) This course will be focused on plant & mushroom ID and ecology.

Bring your camera and come learn a ton of new things! What to bring: Dress for the weather, snacks and water, notepad and pen (optional), and hand lens (optional). Please register via the event website.

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.
