Village and collaborative skills by Tony Deis on Nov 25, 2009

Our friend Becky Lerner at FirstWays.com is doing another week of urban wandering and living entirely on wild foods. I'm proud that the Trackers family is there to help her out.

Becky's projects prove that abundance is possible through real relationships with local plants, even in the heart of Winter. Recently we harvested wapato in the cold, cold waters of the Columbia slough. Below is a video of our adventure with Becky...

Winter Immersion Program Our immersion program is all about harvesting with a village though the seasons. We also have option to earn a master degree beginning Fall 2010.

Survival Skills Taster Day Join us Dec 6 for a free day to learn more about our Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall immersion programs.
