LOCATION:
AT TREESONG WITH SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INSTRUCTOR:
HANNAH SCHRAGER
This class is designed to be a great introduction to Pacific Northwest native plants. You will be lead on a guided walk to learn from the plants themselves about their interesting and distinguishable traits. The guided walk will be somewhat informal so the instructor can take advantage of discovering things as they appear seasonally.
We will learn about the main trees that comprise our local forests. Blooming shrubs and spring flowers should be close by. We will also discuss the larger landscape of the forest and with luck, see some wildlife, fungi, and many non-living components that make our forest a community.
Nature lives in the present and so will we as we discover more about what is occurring around us in the hills we call home.

Instructor bio:
Hannah was born to a band of wanderers who portaged her to the Pacific Northwest before she could form memories. After her youth in the Columbia River Gorge, she set off to survey the terrain between Port Angeles and Port Orford. Her professional credentials include government scientist, rainforest ringleader, and now native plant pioneer in the Columbia River Gorge. Hannah has a Bachelor's degree in Global Studies and a Masters in Environmental Science. After several years as a natural resource steward for public lands, she now runs a band of wily gardeners at her farm above the Little Washougal River. Hannah will likely never stop exploring the curiosities of existence; she enjoys music, food, friendship and writing in third person.
