Tillamook County Wellness and Tillamook Estuaries Partnership bring you Part 4 of Four Seasons Of Foraging! Throughout the year we will co-host 4 events highlighting the unique foraging opportunities coastal Oregon provides.
Join us and local native plant expert Asa Skinner from Tillamook Estuary Partnership’s Native Plant Nursery on Whalen Island for an afternoon learning to forage and about local ethnobotany!
