Forager Friends is a once a month hike where we take our community out of the city and into the more wild places around the Portland area for foraging adventures! Sometimes we forage wild food, sometimes natural crafting materials, sometimes medicines, and sometimes we forage just information and relationships with our other-than-human friends. This is a great opportunity to socialize, move your body, learn more about the natural world, and get out of the city and into the forest. Right now we are not pre-planning specific species to forage, but just exploring what the places and seasons bring us.
**Hike Location Disclaimer** Hike locations are subject to change due to a variety of factors, including but not limited to weather conditions, trail maintenance, safety concerns, and unforeseen circumstances. We prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants, and we may adjust hike routes, locations, or schedules as necessary to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
Attendees are required to RSVP. This allows us to keep you informed about any last minute location or date changes due to weather/trail conditions, or changes in staff availability. Your RSVP also make it possible for us to send you all the logistical details you need to attend, which will arrive to you via email by no later than the Friday prior to date of the hike. Please RSVP below and we look forward to seeing you!
This and our other free programs are made possible by our volunteers and financial support from our community. To become a monthly supporter, go to our donate page. To become a volunteer, please see our volunteer opportunities page.
