Plant Foraging Series: Elderberry
2024-09-24 18:00
When: Tuesday, September 24, 2024
Time: 6:00 pm7:30 pm

Where: Wenatchee River Institute, 347 Division St. Leavenworth, WA
Join WRI for our Plant Foraging Series. We will be hosting plant foraging workshops to introduce people to the abundance of local plants and their edible, medicinal, and functional uses. Each workshop will feature a new plant at its unique harvest time. Participants will learn hands-on how to identify, harvest, propagate, and make use of the plant. Our goal is to empower people to respectfully and reciprocally engage with the plants that live here.
This fall workshop will be with local herbalist Kyra Skaggs. The class is designed to instruct you on foraging and harvesting elderberries and what you can make with them. This will be a hands-on class to become more familiar with this plant.
Kyra owns and operates Balsamroot Botanicals, a small herbal medicine business focused on making high quality medicines and body care products using locally wildcrafted herbs. She grew up exploring the wildlands of the Pacific Northwest and has always had a special love for plants. Following this passion for plants and the outdoors, she received a BA in Environmental Education from Western Washington University in 2016 and completed a clinical herbalism program with Wildroot Botanicals in 2020. She started Balsamroot Botanicals in 2022 because she is passionate about using plant medicine to help others take ownership of their health and deepen their connection to the world around them.
Registration required.
Space is limited, so sign up fast! Class size: 15
Cost is Pay What You Can. Choose a price that is reasonable for you. WRI offers this in recognition that not everyone can afford to pay for classes. We hope that people who can, will pay to help those you cannot.

The Wenatchee Valley Erratics Chapter of the Ice Age Floods Institute will meet Tuesday, October 8 at 7:00 PM, at the Wenatchee Valley Museum and Cultural Center, 127 S. Mission, Wenatchee. Or via Zoom link https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84520197937
Our speaker is Dr. E.F. Cater, Director of the Douglas County Museum in Waterville. Dr. Cater will explore “The Rush to Oregon Territory,” how the twisting and turning of 19th-century society crossed up with the Ice Age Floods.
An odd happenstance occurred when a delegation of Salish men from the Walla Walla area traveled to St. Louis. They sought out their old friend, General William Clark, with an unusual question. This little spark caused a rush to Oregon Territory for reasons different than what Manifest Destiny has led us to believe.
And the stirring of this pot brought the discovery of fantastic geological features like Grand Coulee. Join us as we take a look at Western Expansion.
