Medicinal Plant Hikes in 2024
Our Friday plant walks take us to close-in, easy, accessible and family friendly locations in the Portland area. Some are gentle walks and some are more involved hikes (read about each hike in the description below).
Children 12 and under are welcome free with a registered adult. A few of these hikes are even toddler or stroller friendly.
Study in the field includes botanical identification, ecological awareness, harvesting considerations, and learning traditional and modern medicinal uses.
