He apprenticed with the renowned ethnobotanist and herbalist Heidi Bohan, author of “People of Cascadia,” and studied under professor Alfred Wiedemann, an expert botanist, dune ecologist, and author of “Plants of the Oregon Coastal Dunes.” Jason is also an experienced wildlife biologist, wilderness skills educator, and cofounder of Alderleaf Wilderness College.
