Are you curious about foraging? Or are you a seasoned forager who wants to learn a little bit more about Nature's abundance in our region? We're pleased to welcome Jennifer Hahn to the library to present her brand-new book about foraging, Pacific Harvest: Foraging as a Healing Passport to Place, Plants, Animals and Nature.
Foraging for wild food, eating between tide and forest, makes life a delicious journey. It is a passport to place for northwest naturalist and author Jennifer Hahn, teacher of a popular science course called "Wild Food" at Western Washington University's Fairhaven College. Enjoy a lively slideshow talk on the cultural, culinary and ecological uses of sea veggies, land plants and marine shellfish, and mushrooms. Jennifer will share stories of her 40 years foraging afoot and afloat from Alaska to California, animals who shelter and eat the foods we also love, sustainable foraging tips, nutrition, recipe ideas, and profiles from Indigenous traditional food experts working to revitalize Traditional Foodways in the Salish Sea and beyond. Enjoy popcorn "SEA-soned" with local farmed kelp (Lummi Island SeaGreens) and gain a new appreciation of the nature that surrounds and nourishes you.
Jennifer Hahn is an author, scientist, teacher, culinary explorer, and wilderness guide. She teaches sustainable wild food harvesting at Fairhaven College of Interdisciplinary Studies at Western Washington University and leads seaweed workshops for the North Cascade Institute, Salish Sea tribes, and First Nations. Her first book "Spirited Waters: Soloing South through the Inside Passage" won the Barbara Savage Miles from Nowhere award. A naturalist and guide in Southeast Alaska and the Inside Passage, Hahn has been featured on NPR and lives in Bellingham, Washington.
