Hemlock Ridge Excursions offers field-based natural history education workshops in the Cascade Mountains and Coast Range of Oregon. Our trips are based in beautiful locations and feature good food, hands-on learning, and a low student-to-instructor ratio. As a 2010 Cascades Mushroom Class participant put it:
“This class was great! I had always wanted to learn about collecting wild mushrooms, and after this weekend I feel prepared to use an identification key to figure out what I’m looking at. The food was delicious and the company was great!”
Great website, glad to see you have a presence on the web! For anyone considering this adventure, I highly recommend it. My husband and I attended the coast trip and had a blast! If you enjoy eating wild mushrooms and the outdoors, this weekend is well worth it. Both Marcia and Jared are very knowledgable and they will have you identifying and harvesting your favorite edible mushrooms in no time at all. And, the meals prepared by April Dawn were absolutely fabulous!
