# Event Details - **Event Name**: Spring Wild Edible & Medicinal Plant Walk — Evans Creek Preserve - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 28 Mar, 2026 at 12:00 pm - **Event Description**: Discover edible & medicinal spring plants at Evans Creek Preserve—learn forest ecology, plant ID, and seasonal wild foods on a guided walk.About this EventStep into early spring at Evans Creek Preserve and discover the edible and medicinal plants awakening along the forest floor. This guided walk invites you to slow down, observe closely, and learn how to recognize the plants that define the Pacific Northwest’s lush spring landscape.As winter fades, the understory fills with blossoms, fresh greens, and ancient forest companions. Together, we’ll explore how these plants live within a rich ecological web — and how people they can be used for food and medicine.During our walk, we may encounter:Tender spring nettlesLungwort lichen draping tree branchesBlossoming salmonberryIndian plum as it transitions from flowering to fruitingSiberian miner’s lettuceSword fernTowering Douglas firThe remarkable bigleaf maple, with special attention given to its unique ecological role and relationships within the forestThe dramatic leaves of skunk cabbage, already past its early bloomThis walk blends plant identification, ecology, edible+medicinal uses, and seasonal awareness. Expect a relaxed pace, plenty of opportunities for questions, and a deeper understanding of how spring unfolds in a western Washington forest.Please Note that this event will continue, rain or shine. March in the Pacific Northwest can be wet and chilly, so please bring rain boots, umbrella, rain pants and rain jacket if the weather is looking like rain. I usually pack these things in the car when going outdoors in the spring regardless—locals know a rain jacket is the best talisman against rain!? LocationWe will be meeting at the lower parking lot of Evans Creek Preserve in Sammamish, WA. There are 10 stalls in the parking lot itself, and then street parking for further participants. Please carpool with friends where possible! Pin here:https://maps.app.goo.gl/vR8Fs9LcVNaL87Kh8?
