Journey to the spectacular tide pools of the Lost

Journey to the spectacular tide pools of the Lost Coast of Northern California!

>> Only 4 spots left! <<

You’ll bring the intertidal “seaweed blur” into focus by learning to identify and ethically harvest the bountiful sea vegetables that grow along their rocky shores: Nori, Kombu, Wakame, Sea lettuce, Bladderwrack, Sea cabbage, and many more.

We'll camp along the gorgeous & serene Mattole River and create a dinner feast (including dessert!) with our foraged sea vegetables.

Campground class time includes hands on lessons on how to use common seaweeds for food, medicine, first aid, self care, and fun!

Class meets: 6pm Friday May 19 to noon on Sunday May 21 in Petrolia, CA for one of the best low tides of the year (a -1.4' at 6:40am Saturday)

$300 Tuition includes camping, product samples, and several meals

Find all the details and save your spot at our L I N K

Banana Slug party in the redwood forest today!
🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

🎤 Sing it with me now…

You know I love my baby (love my baby)
I love the way that she hugs (way that she hugs)
Some people don’t understand it (don’t understand it)
She’s a banana slug (banana slug)

BA-NA-NA SLUG!

He’s got just one foot
He ain’t got no toes
He hangs out in the forest
And helps it decompose.

The Klamath Mountains contain some of the most exceptional temperate plant communities in the world. Within its geographic boundaries, over 3,500 taxa (species, subspecies, and varieties) of vascular plants occur, including 35 conifer species and 20 species of oak.

Michael will provide an overview of the Klamath Mountains, highlighting the plant communities across the region, and share photos of the rare and unusual plants that call the Klamath Mountains home.

Michael Kauffmann is an educator, author, publisher, and ecologist in Humboldt County who loves the Klamath Mountains and their native flora and fauna, including his favorite group of plants—conifers! He is the co-editor of a new book entitled The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History.

“Hiking Humboldt KIDS” by Rees Hughes

(and many book parents including Jennifer Gonzales, @benselman, @michael.kauffmann, @earth2allison, and talented local photographers)

Built for use with kids, this book will inspire family adventures with authentic experiences in nature that develop wonder in children and adults alike.

Research shows us that these shared experiences in early childhood have valuable and long-lasting positive effects on our health and wellbeing.

25 Hikes are grouped into four geographic regions of Humboldt County, CA. Each hike includes:

✅ Descriptions, driving and walking directions, and a custom map

✅ An activity for kids that highlights various flora, fauna, historical, or cultural aspects related to the hike

📗Paperbacks are coming to you in hand in early May! Preorder and eBooks are available now at our L I N K — and the eBook is FREE with your paperback preorder!
