Cascadia Wild is a nonprofit (501) (3c) organization whose mission is to inspire personal connection to nature and community. Our unique style of mentoring draws from techniques used by indigenous cultures worldwide. We believe in using hands-on, experiential learning that engages all of the senses, tapping into a person's own natural curiosity, in using nature as the teacher, and in combining learning with stewardship. We teach wilderness living skills, animal tracking, sensory awreness routines, the science of ecology, ethnobotany, and environmental stewardship. In all of our activities, we hope to foster the awareness of a native tracker along with the knowldege of a modern scientist. We strive to awaken people's feelings of kinship with nature and increase their understanding of how we are ultimately a part of, and sustained by, the natural world.

Cascadia Wild is a wonderful organization that brings people closer to their environment and their community. They offer guided hikes where participants learn about tracking in the winter and about edible, medicinal and generally interesting plants in the summer. All year long there are community nights where people share their knowledge with whomever wants to learn. The organization is growing and hoping to offer more classes.
