Nakani Native Program

Last Friday, our interns visited an endangered native sphagnum bog ecosystem and learned how protecting and preserving rare landscapes connect to honoring treaty rights. We also learned how safeguarding these places supports the revitalization of traditional foods and medicines for future generations. While there, we tested the water acidity and harvested mushrooms.

At one of our recent intern activities, TMP interns visited Chinook Bend Natural Area and learned about water, salmon, and people, and how they are all connected. We also learned about riparian forests and harvested cottonwood buds. 🌊🌿
