Washington Park in Anacortes, WA is situated on a coastal bluff with unique natural history. In this course, we will spend Saturday and Sunday primarily focused on the following topics:

  • Identifying spring blooms

  • Identifying and tasting wild edibles

  • Learning the medicinal use of multiple plant species

  • Exploring tidepools (low tides expected)

  • Wildlife Viewing (e.g., maritime birds, porpoises, whales, and harbor seals)
