Our Story
Raven’s Roots was founded over a decade ago with the goal of helping people to regain a connection to the ecosystems around us, and to teach the ancestral skills that are needed to navigate the deep human-nature relationship.
Today, our small team of instructors works to continue sharing that knowledge and building community between our participants. We work hard to make the outdoors a safe place for everyone, and deliver high quality instruction that blends traditional knowledge, western science, and lived experience.
