Each class is led or hosted by Jazmen Yoder, a botanist, naturalist guide, bushcraft teacher, and northwest adventurer. Guest instructors include naturalists and expert trackers, Ryan Johnson of Firecraft Northwest & Mark Thompson; and Salish Sea Naturalist with a Marine Biology emphasis, Madelaine Katz.
Collaborations between Northwest Natura and Professors of Mycology, Ethnobotany and Salish Sea Natural History are possible. Inquire within.

People who attend a class with Northwest Natura tend to want to return again and again.
Classes are designed to be highly educational and engaging for students so that information is never the only takeaway.
