About this Event
Join Village Books and North Cascades Institute in welcoming Jennifer Hahn - you won't want to miss learning about PNW foraging, plus a chance to try popcorn "SEA-soned" with local kelp!
Foraging for wild food, eating between tide and forest, makes life a delicious journey. It is a passport to place for northwest naturalist and author Jennifer Hahn, teacher of a popular science course called "Wild Food" at Western Washington University's Fairhaven College. Enjoy a lively slideshow talk on the cultural, culinary and ecological uses of sea veggies, land plants and marine shellfish. Jennifer will share stories of her 40 years foraging afoot and afloat from Alaska to California, animals who shelter and eat the foods we also love, sustainable foraging tips, nutrition, recipe ideas, and perspectives from Indigenous traditional food experts. Enjoy popcorn "SEA-soned" with local kelp and gain a new appreciation of the nature that surrounds and nourishes you.
Jennifer Hahn is an author, scientist, teacher, culinary explorer, and wilderness guide. She teaches sustainable wild food harvesting at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies at Western Washington University and leads seaweed workshops for the North Cascade Institute, Salish Sea tribes, and First Nations. Her first book "Spirited Waters: Soloing South through the Inside Passage" won the Barbara Savage Miles from Nowhere award.
