Join botanist and geologist Mark Darrach for an inspiring day of exploration on the Olympic Peninsula, where you'll discover native plants and ecology while hiking through a rare old-growth forest. Enjoy engaging discussions on plant identification and the region's geology for a rich learning experience!

 
 
This CedarRoot class was like meeting friends I didn’t know I had. Spending time with a small group of people eager to learn about the forest around us and spend the day moving at the pace that fit the moment; I can’t say enough positive things about the experience. We discussed a variety of topics in addition to plant identification, and learned much more about said plants than simply their names (including genealogy, some forest and geology, bird call identification). I’m eager to take another class.
