Jason Knight is the co-founder of Alderleaf Wilderness College and author of the bestselling book, The Essential Skills of Wilderness Survival (available in the Nature Store). Jason has been foraging for wild edible plants since he was old enough to walk. 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 and wilderness skills educator. He was consulted as a local wilderness skills expert for the “Coastal Catastrophe” episode of the Discovery Channel’s Dual Survival television program, which included assisting with identifying regional wild edible plants and other survival foods.
