Opportunities...
Portland is at a crossroads: with endangered salmon in our rivers,
increased growth on all sides, and an uncertain era of land use
planning ahead, we must work hard for a future that continues to
nourish innovation and livability.
Nestled into Tryon Creek State Park in S.W. Portland is the
intersection of rural, urban and wild. On this rare landscape,
people are coming together to teach and learn the skills needed to
ensure a sustainable future city. We welcome your energy.

Wild Foods Workshop with Sandor Katz and Frank Cook: Saturday and Sunday, July 14-15. Come join a cultural revolution! Wild fermentation is a way of incorporating the wild into your body, becoming one with the natural world. In this workshop, we will spend time walking outdoors, getting to know some local plants and harvesting edibles and medicinals, and together we will make kimchi, idli, kefir, herbal elixir meads, and much more.
