Wild Edible Plants Bike Tour Earth Day April 22nd

On Earth Day, April 22nd, I am planning to host a WILD EDIBLE PLANTS BIKE TOUR here in Portland! It will be FREE! Yes FREE!
I figured we could meet at the Albina Press so that people could drink some coffee and wake up before we start riding. There are some vacant lots around this part of town that host a few wild edibles that we can talk about and sample! I then would like to ride south to the Springwater Corridor and continue along this bike path to Oaks Bottom Park where there is much to discover. Afterward, there is an Earth Day Celebration put on by City Repair that I heard is happening at Sellwood Park. Participants on the bike tour can leave at any point along the journey. I have a pretty fair amount of knowledge about plants/weeds in our area that are very nutritous and taste good too! I would like to share this knowledge but I still have much to learn about the plant world so I encourage others to contribute their expertise as well so we can all learn something new. I think traveling by bicycle as a group is a great way to access many different sources of wild foods. Email me if you have any questions dellershaun@yahoo.com
EXCITING NEWS!!! John Kallas Ph.D. of Wild Food Adventures here in Portland just emailed me to let me know that he will have a booth at the City Repair Earth Day Celebration at Sellwood Park. He is a great wealth of knowledge about wild edible plants and will be answering questions and showing examples of wild edibles at his booth. This will be an awesome opportunity for us to get the answers to any plant questions that we may not be able to answer on the bike tour. I'm really excited that he will be there!

Shaun this sounds pretty cool. I was wondering if you where ever going to get back with me on the "squirrel tail tassles":) I'd better see some of these edible plants on your blog>
