PNW Naturalist Series - Wilderness Skills with Northwest Natura (Day 1)

This series is for adult individuals at any skill level who are interested in ramping up their survival skills while having fun “surviving” outdoors and learning about plants, wildlife, fire craft, foraging, and ethnobotany.

Day 1: Ethnobotany, Water Purification, and Cooking Skills -Participants will learn basic fire-building skills, how to purify water and cook using stones and a basin, and practice coniferous tree ID.
