SUMMARY:Guided Mushroom Hike
DESCRIPTION:Join our local mushroom expert Mike Potts for a slow-paced\, off-trail walk through the woods and learn your way around the world of wild fungi. The emphasis will be on finding fungi and learning about identification and the diversity of mushroom species and how to sustainably harvest wild mushrooms. Edible and poisonous varieties will be discussed. Meet at the Northwest Nature Shop\, 154 Oak St.\, Ashland at 10:00 am on Saturday\, November 9th where we’ll gather as a group and then drive to the foraging location (approximately 45 – 60 minutes from Ashland.) Return to Ashland by 4:00 pm. \nBe prepared for adverse weather. Wear appropriate hiking shoes (We will be doing some off-trail walking on uneven terrain)\, bring a water bottle\, a lunch\, rain gear\, a collecting basket\, a foldable knife\, a mushroom ID book if you have one\, and a whistle. Cost is $55 per person per hike. The location of each hike will be disclosed at a later date to give us flexibility in planning around weather and mushroom abundance. Space is limited so sign up early. Payment at the time of registration is required. Call 541-482-3241 to sign up or email northwestnatureshop@gmail.com \nHOW TO PREPARE: \nDress appropriately for the weather. The key to having an enjoyable experience is to be prepared for the possibly cold and wet weather. We will be in the forests of the southern Oregon Cascade range @ 4500 ft so expect considerably colder temps at that elevation. We won’t be moving that fast so you might get colder than you do on normal hikes! We recommend dressing in layers and bringing waterproof outer layers. We will walk rain or shine.\nWear sturdy shoes. It is important to wear appropriate shoes/boots for being in the forest. Expect uneven terrain through the forest and be prepared to traverse through undergrowth\, over fallen branches\, and logs at times.\nThere are no bathrooms or outhouses at trail heads we leave from. Please plan accordingly.\nBring a lunch\, water\, knife\, safety whistle\, basket or bag for collecting and a positive attitude and open mind to learn about the world of fungi around you.\nPlease\, No Dogs. We love them but for mushroom walks\, we have to ask you to leave them home.

SUMMARY:Intro to Wildlife Tracks Field Excursion ($25) - Saturday February 10th\, 10am to 3pm.
DESCRIPTION:Annoyed that you’re not seeing more wildlife?? Well\, finding wildlife tracks is as close as it gets\, and tracks are easier to find than animals! Join Naturalist and Amateur Tracker Nolan Richard in the field to find\, discuss\, and identify wildlife tracks.  \n	This is an introductory Wildlife Tracking Field class that introduces people to the basics of identifying and interpreting wildlife tracks and signs. When we find evidence of an animal\, we’ll ask questions like “what was the animal doing?”\, “what animal left that track?”\, “How was the animal moving?”\, “Is that a left or right\, front or hind track?”. There’s so many questions to ponder! There’s no knowing what we will find\, but we’ll be sure to discuss whatever we do find! \n	The location of this hike will be determined in the days leading up to the hike based on current snow conditions. Either way\, here’s what you’ll need…\nSnowshoes (no xcountry skis)\nSnow Boots\nWarm layers\nWater\nFood\nNo Dogs (They’ll step all over the tracks).  \nSign up in advance.  Max 10 participants. Meet at Northwest Nature Shop at 10 am on Saturday February 10th to carpool to the start of the excursion.

SUMMARY:Introductory Fall LICHEN Hike!
DESCRIPTION:Hi there local Naturalists! \nI\, Nolan Richard\, am thrilled to lead a Lichen Hike from 10am-3pm on Saturday October 21st to Pilot Rock! \nThis hike will serve as an introductory field lichen class focusing on lichen anatomy\, biology\, ecology\, and of course…  identification. I chose Pilot Rock for the diversity of habitats (young and old conifer forest\, oak woodland\, meadow\, and rocky habitats)\, which will give us a great lichen diversity. \nThe hike itself will be slow paced\, relatively short (3-3.5 miles) with up to 450 ft of elevation gain. We will do some exploring of the PCT\, the trail to Pilot Rock\, and “Pilot” meadow (The large meadow below Pilot Rock). We will meet at the Northwest Nature Shop at 9:50am. \nPlease bring… \n\nWarm clothes and good shoes (there is a good chance of cold and rain this time of year) – I’ll update you with weather as the date approaches. We will reschedule if the weather is bad or if there’s too much fresh snow covering the ground.\nLunch and water.\nA loupe/magnifying glass for looking at small lichen features. Important!! (Available at the Nature Shop)\n(Optional). A copy of  “Macrolichens of the Pacific Northwest” by Bruce McCune if you have one. (A couple copies available at the Nature Shop).\n\nPlease RSVP by emailing nolrich829@gmail.com (Limited to 12 participants). Class costs $20/person. \n \nCheers\, Nolan \n\n\nExpect to learn… \n1.  The basics of how lichens work and what they are composed of. \n2. How to go about identifying them. (Using terminology\, categorizing) \n3. The characteristics of the common lichen genera (8+ genera) along the trails\, and a couple less common genera.

SUMMARY:Nature Journals 101: Explore the natural world of Lithia Park and create a nature journal of your observations
DESCRIPTION:Create your first nature journal! Many important scientists\, naturalists\, and philosophers such as Charles Darwin\, Henry David Thoreau\, Ralph Waldo Emerson\, Aldo Leopold\, Rachel Carson\, and John Muir were all known for keeping journals of their observations\, poems\, and discoveries. On Sunday June 4th\, at 2 pm we’ll meet at the Northwest Nature Shop and then walk over to Lithia Park to observe the natural world around us and then record what we hear\, smell\, see\, and feel. Nature journaling teaches children to become keen observers of the natural world by drawing and writing about plants and animals in the field.  Keeping a nature journal develops the most important science process skills; observation and documentation. Christy Chow will lead this class for children 5 and older. $5 per child/parent participant.  Pre-register at the NW Nature Shop 541-482-3241.
