This 128-acre close-in park gives many opportunities to study mature native forests of the Willamette valley, as well as dozens of understory plants both native and naturalized. This is a day of easy hiking learning the medicines of the forests all the way down to the banks of the Willamette river. (This beach is known for its agates!) 
 
Hiking difficulty: Very Easy.
 
This is a full day of plant medicine exploration. Study in the field includes botanical identification, ecological awareness, discussion of harvesting techniques and considerations, medicinal uses both traditional and modern, and medicine making. Tincture tasting may be included, with the opportunity to purchase plant medicines if desired. We will take a mid-day lunch break.
