Here are some pics from the Hunter Gatherer class at Raven’s Roots. They made cat tail flour tortillas, and a meal of Amaranth Grains with a side of Burdock, Chantrelle, Bittercress, Nettle, Amaranth Greens and Plantain Stir-Fry. Join us for our next class!
Dates: March 14-18,2016
Instructor: Jeremy Cobb Location: Raven's Roots Campus
Cost: $435.00
In the five day Flaked Stone Tools intensive, students will learn techniques and tool types used cross culturally by stone age peoples the world over. Students will come away with the knowledge and techniques to make a variety of tools used for hunting, wood working, butchering, and wilderness survival. Each student will also receive a manufacturing kit and material to continue their journey after the class is over. A maximum of eight students will be able to take this course, insuring individual attention for everyone, as they need it.
Have some pictures of our campus! The campus is home to well over 100 western red cedar trees and we have multiple second growth stands of doug firs, hemlocks and spruces as well. Our 3/4 acre pond is one of our favorite areas on the property. Trout and perch call it home and we are beginning to plant the outer edges with edible and wildlife attracting plants. The orchard and our main growing area. A homesteading couple once lived on this property 50 years ago and planted trees from all over the world. We currently have 15 producing apple trees and 1 plum. Right now, we're gathering all of the leaves on the 8 acre property for mulching and building compost bins. We're also clearing out bramble to make room for plantings in the spring.
Jamie cleaned out the settling tank in our current water system. When we moved onto the property, there was close to 4 inches of muck on the bottom of the tank. Even though it's now free of muck, we will soon be redesigning our water system to take full advantage of the spring fed creek running down from the top of our propety. We'll be sure to document the process when it begins.
We all found it a good sign to have several Ravens observing us from a nearby tree. This track of a left foot of Raven in the mud along the Stillaguamish River kicked off our weekend Tracking Immersion Course on the right foot. Wait, I thought you just said it was a left foot!
This Douglas squirrel (Tamiasciurus douglasii) is eating the seeds from big leaf maple samaras. Douglas squirrels typically reside in coniferous forests and primarily eat the seeds of pines, firs, spruces, maples and hemlocks
Some pictures from the Hunter-Gatherer Immersion Course
Female hairy woodpecker (Picoides villosus) picking insects from the moss growing on a big-leaf maple. You can tell it's a female because males have a patch of red towards the back of their head. Hairy woodpeckers live in mature woodlands and typically share habitat with downy woodpeckers, which look almost exactly the same. They're different in that the length of the hairy woodpecker's beak is almost the same as the length of it's head. The downy has a very small beak in proportion to it's head length and also has roughly a third of the body size as the hairy. Both species nest in tree cavities and usually excavate their nests in tree snags with polypore mushrooms growing on them. The polypores soften up the wood so both species can excavate cavities. Only the pileated woodpecker is powerful enough to excavate deep nesting cavities without the help of a fungus
Date: Saturday, October 17 , 2015 Location: Deception Pass State Park. Meet at Bowman Bay. Time: 9am-12pm Instructor: Gabe Garms Come join us on a 3 hour naturalist walk at Deception Pass State Park in NW Washington. We'll discuss plants, trees, birds, track/sign and the relationships that each have within the ecosystem. So put down your field guides and let us increase your knowledge exponentially on one of these walks.
Wild rose hips are just about ready to pick here in the Pacific Northwest. They're a delicious wild edible that has close to twice the amount of vitamin C as an orange. Just remember to remove the seeds before consumption since they irritate the intestines. Rose hips are also a very popular wild ingredient in jams, jellies and are even infused with honey. Try them!
Belted Kingfisher examining the waters for fish with a very studious look. Adult females have extra rufous coloration around their blue and grey breast feathers and a thick extra lower rufous band as well. Adult males have a solid white chest and do not have this lower breastband. Juvenile birds have a slightly more narrow lower band. Any thoughts as to whether this is an adult female or an immature juvenile? Sometimes telling the difference can be pretty tough.
Come learn to make your own bow with resident bad ass Jamie Weaver!
English hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata). One of my all time favorite permaculture shrubs/trees. The berries are waxy and provide wildlife with food during the winter when it's scarce. Since it's thorny, I plant it on the outskirts of my garden to prevent deer from entering. What's even better is that you can graft pears and medlars to the top of it and not have to worry about animal browsing due to the thorns below.
Pacific tree frog (Pseudacris regilla). One of the most common frogs on the west coast, it can be identified by the black bands running across each of the eyes. While they're mainly nocturnal, this little guy came out of hiding to enjoy the rainfall, which has been absent from this area for a couple of weeks.
Puffball mushroom (Lycoperdon perlatum). To be sure of it's identity when in the field, cut it open and make sure it's entirely white with a marshmallow texture. Slice and sautee for a delicious snack.
Great blue heron (Ardea herodias). This bird is seen all over the United States, typically hunting for fish in shallow waters. This GBH was slowly stalking through an open meadow, more than likely hunting for voles or snakes.
Western scrub jay (Aphelocoma californica). They typically live near oaks and depend on the acorns as a staple winter food
Agreed. Highschool sucks. People are jerks and I would rather live in the middle of nowhere, than to face school again.
Let’s go run away and live in the wilderness anon. We can educate ourselves on plants and animals, and be best friends (-:
Come run away to us ;) We can teach you a thing or two about hiding in the woods!
