When: Tuesday, October 22, 2024
Time: 5:00 pm-6:30 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 will be an opportunity to harvest chicory on the WRI campus and learn how to process the roots for making your own drink. Plan to wear clothing to get dirty, something to collect your harvested roots, and a long-handled shovel.
This workshop will be instructed by our WRI Land Steward Tiffany (who also goes by Tiffa). She is madly in love with native plants, lichen, and fungi in general and has a BA in Environmental Studies/Biology from UC Santa Cruz (go Banana Slugs!) Tiffa’s interests include rare plants, fungi, and lichens, and serves on the board of the Wenatchee Valley chapter of WNPS, as an alternate board member of the Northwest Lichenologists, and does extensive design work for Fungal Diversity Survey. She is also a volunteer for Rare Care, monitoring populations of rare plants around Washington State.
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.

Make a difference in your neighborhood and community! WRI will be participating in this year’s Make a Difference Day. We will be working in the E. Lorene Young Community Garden for this year’s project.
We will work together to dismantle and replace old planter boxes and replace them with new cedar ones built onsite. We completed half of the boxes last year and need your help to finish the rest of the garden. These new boxes will serve community members for the next decade of fruit, vegetable, herb, and flower growing.
We will also be making new accessible garden beds for those who cannot safely or adequately navigate the current layout. We’ll be adding extra space between garden beds as we rebuild them. These extra inches will allow wheelchair users to enjoy the wonders of community gardening. We are committed to making the WRI campus welcoming and accessible to all. We need your help in taking a step towards this goal!
This is a family friendly volunteer event! WRI will have the materials and hand tools available for the work.
Join us on Saturday, October 26th at WRI if you’d like to participate! Please let us know you’re coming by clicking the red “RSVP Here” button above.
