Plant Foraging Workshop: Elderberry

Wenatchee River Institute 347 Division Street, WA, United States

Join WRI for our Plant Foraging Series. We will be hosting plant foraging workshops to introduce people to the abundance of local plants and their edible, medicinal, and functional uses. Each workshop will feature a new plant at its unique harvest time. Participants will learn hands-on how to identify, harvest, propagate, and make use of the plant. Our goal is to empower people to respectfully and reciprocally engage with the plants that live here.

This fall workshop will be with local herbalist Kyra Skaggs. The class is designed to instruct you on foraging and harvesting elderberries and what you can make with them. This will be a hands-on class to become more familiar with this plant.

 

Astronomy Along the River

Wenatchee River Institute 347 Division Street, WA, United States

Join Park Ranger Paul Tomas and local Wenatchee Valley Astronomy Club members on a family friendly journey through space. Using a variety of telescopes, we’ll gaze up into the Milky Way and learn about some of the best night sky objects to view. From the stunning rings of Saturn and planetary nebulas, to large cataclysmic supernova remnants we’ll journey through our own galaxy and even take a look at neighboring ones.

During this program we’ll also explore the basics of telescope use, the different types of telescopes, and some helpful tricks to enhance your experience in star gazing.

Please dress for the fall evening weather as we will be outside the entire time.
