Plant Walk at Northern State Recreation Area

  • Northern State Recreation Area (map)

Instructor: Gabe Garms
Cost: $25

Come join us on a 3 hour plant walk at Northern State Recreation Area in Sedro-Woolley, WA. We'll help you identify trees, plants and shrubs along the trail system at Northern State. We’ll also teach you which plants are good for food, medicine, tools and attracting wildlife. We'll also look at the relationships that the plants have with the birds, invertebrates and other elements of the natural world.

There are quite a few native plants at Northern State and a fairly wide diversity of tree species. We’ll walk through wetland ecologies, second growth forest and open meadows. If we’re lucky, there still might be some cottonwood buds still on the fallen branches that we can harvest for medicine.
