Take a virtual journey to the incredible, species-rich tide pools that fringe the Pacific Coast! You’ll bring the intertidal “seaweed blur” into focus by learning to identify the bountiful sea vegetables that grow along our rocky shores: Nori, Kombu, Wakame, Sea lettuce, Bladderwrack, Sea cabbage, and many more.

Hello, Backcountry Press!
I am interested in taking the edible seaweed class with my granddaughter. I think I remember seeing it offered once as an in-person class where the participants camped for the weekend near the shore. Am I remembering correctly and is that something you would offer in the future?
Yours,
Jane Toro
Hi Jane!
Would love to have you and your granddaughter join us for the seaweed adventure weekend! We meet for a weekend in the 2nd half of May (based on the tides) on the Lost Coast of CA. I added your name to my list of folks to contact and will email you when the dates are decided and registration opens.
Looking forward to it!
Allison
