Outdoor Fire-Making & Bread-Baking with Northwest Natura

Escape into the woods and reconnect with nature! In this unique workshop, you’ll learn the timeless skills of fire-making (without a lighter!) and bread-baking while enjoying crackling fires, good company, and a beautiful PNW mossy woodland next to the Nooksack River at Boulder Creek. 

Build your own fire without a lighter using foraged materials you collected from the land, rain or shine. Learn how to carve feathersticks for starting a fire. Learn how to use a ferro rod and natural materials to catch a flame. Learn how to build a baking fire with materials you found in the woods. Bake bread from start to finish over a fire in a Dutch oven.

Participants will be in groups of 2-4, and each group has their own firepit. Each person in your group plays a significant role in creating bread from scratch. Learn the steps to baking, dutch oven basics, and how to “tell the temperature” of your oven without a thermometer.
