Mushrooms and Medicinals!

Join The Arctos School of Herbal & Botanical Studies on our October field trips. We'll be hunting edible mushrooms and discussing healing plants out in the Mt. Hood National Forest.

Our classes are priced on a sliding scale so as to be affordable to low-income and non-profit workers. If you or your organization are interested in a specialized class, please let us know! We'd be delighted to work with you.
