Name: Midwinter Medicine: A Solstice Foraging Walk with Northwest Natura
Start: 2026-12-20
End: 2026-12-20
Location: Whatcom County, TBD

Join naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a gentle and magical walk on the Winter Solstice to learn about wild medicinal plants and foraging protocols for several species this winter.

In this course, learn to identify plants (and mushrooms if we find them), discuss lookalikes, learn how to wildcraft syrups, tinctures, and salves at home, and be inspired to take your herbalism skills to the next level.

The trail will be selected closer to the date as Mother Nature decides when the plants are ready to be foraged. The decided location will be no more than 30 minutes outside of Bellingham.

Things to bring with you to class: Dress for the weather (warm outdoor clothing), Mud boots or waterproof shoes, Snacks and water, Notebook and pen (recommended; optional), Foraging basket, jars, and/or bags. 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.
