The intact ancient forest of Opal Creek provides the perfect habitat for many Pacific Northwest medicinal plant species to bloom and flourish. Opal Creek Ancient Forest Center is very excited to host Scott Kloos, faculty member of the Elderberry School of Botanical Medicine, www.elderberryschool.com, as our instructor for this course. Scott has been studying and researching the native plants of the Pacific NW for over ten years. In addition to many years of self study, he has worked at the Herb Pharm in Williams, OR and has studied with Christopher Hobbs. Join us for a weekend exploring the amazing plant diversity of the ancient forest. We'll hike and identify native plants, focusing on their medicinal, nutritional, and ecological values. We will discuss the basics of herbal actions on the body, learn respectful wild crafting methods, make herbal preparations, and talk about herbs for common imbalances.
Cost: $120 / adult
