If you know them, you can see plants all around you that can provide all kinds of gifts, including food. In this workshop we'll explore how to see and recognize many edible wild plants, as well as learn skills to protect ourselves and the plants while harvesting and using them. We'll also talk about gathering, processing, and preserving skills, and share some great references you can use to continue developing your abilities with wild edibles. The aim of this workshop is to help you make wild edible plants a natural, daily part of your life and to be able to share this gift with others.

Instructor bio:
Cader Olive has been studying, living, and teaching connected living in nature for the past 40 years. He has a Doctorate in Ecology and spent years researching animal behavior and populations. For 20 years he owned and operated a green building and contracting business, helping people find sustainable ways to provide homes for their families. For 15 years he taught workshops at a non-profit education center he founded in Northern Wisconsin. The mission of this center was to connect local residents in learning about the landscape they lived in, their human neighbors, and ways to live there more conscientiously, locally, and sustainably. The center was a living demonstration of passive solar home design and energy use, permaculture and organic gardening, gathering food and materials from the land, and simple living. Since coming to Portland in 2011, Cader has taught numerous classes for local organizations and consulted with families and individuals trying to live more locally, sustainably, and connected to their own landscape. His passion is in helping local people find ways to live a satisfying, integrated, quality life with their family and their wild and human relations. Cader currently spends part of the year in Portland, Oregon and part of the year in Cornucopia, Wisconsin.
