SUMMARY:Presentation: Ethical Foraging of Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, October 19\, 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\nPresentation: Ethical Foraging of Native Plants\nPresenter: Steven Yeager\, Columbine School and Mountain Rose Herbs \nLocation: Amazon Community Center\, 2700 Hilyard Street\, Eugene \nForaging native plants offers a meaningful way to deepen our connection with the natural world\, but it also carries important responsibilities. In this presentation\, Steven Yeager will explore the principles and practices of ethical foraging\, with a focus on protecting plant populations\, preserving ecological integrity\, and relationships with the land. \nParticipants will learn how to identify opportunities for sustainable harvest\, assess the health and abundance of wild plant communities\, and minimize their impact on sensitive ecosystems. The presentation will also discuss common native species used for food\, medicine\, and craft\, along with practical guidelines for responsible collection. \nWhether you are new to foraging or an experienced herbalist\, naturalist\, or gardener\, this program will provide valuable insights for harvesting wild plants in a way that supports both people and the long-term health of the landscapes we depend upon. \nAbout the presenter:\nSteven Yeager was longtime instructor with the Columbines School of Botanical Studies and serves as executive vice president of Mountain Rose Herbs and is current president of NPSO. Drawing on decades of experience in herbal medicine\, native plants\, sustainability\, and conservation\, he is passionate about promoting responsible stewardship of wild plant populations and fostering deeper connections between people and place.
