Where Cows Meet Clams: Gifts from the Forest - Foraging & Wild Crafting for Winter Saturday December 7, 2013
Camp Korey at Carnation Farm
Carnation, WA
Share this event:







If you are a farmer or small forest landowner, educator or community member interested in seasonal foraging, wild crafting and the intricate dance of farm, forest and watershed ecology in the Snoqualmie Valley, please join us for this free event at Camp Korey on Saturday, December 7 from 11 AM to 1:30 PM.

We'll start with a short forest walk and talk behind the Toll House at Camp Korey, then move indoors for light snacks and hands-on holiday wild crafting using all native, natural materials and other "gifts from the forest" that support us in winter.

We will also focus on issues of connectivity (we'll be crafting and chatting) between water and land, people and place. Why should we care about cows and clams while creating a cedar bark holiday ornament? What's at stake from forest floor to river shore as farmland in the Snoqualmie Valley watershed is rapidly and literally losing ground? How can we educate others about these connections or create new opportunities for outreach and education?

Please no pets or walk-up participants. Space is extremely limited and pre-registration is required.
