Join Whidbey Watershed Stewards for a lesson on:

• Foraging spring edible shoots,

• Quick basket making, and

• Maintenance of the property at Freeland Wetlands Preserve. 

WWS Board members will be demonstrating harvesting of young nettle tops, cooking with nettles (nettle soup, nettle tea, and nettle pesto), making baskets from bramble vines, and other spring edible shoots.  Join a tour on the property, then join in on helping control the nettle and brambles before the spring growing season.  Soup, tea, pesto, and coffee provided to all volunteers. 

Bring heavy gloves and clippers If you intend to help out and maintain this amazing property. All are welcome!
