Wild Edible Plants Walk with Tusha Yakovleva

• Thursday, June 15, 2023, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Class Description:

Join Tusha Yakovleva, teacher of foraging and ethnobotany for this unique opportunity to learn the stories of the plants around us. 

Tusha currently works for ESF's Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. Her work revolves around growing strong, reciprocal relationships between land and people and has included teaching, research, and writing in ethnobotany; working with food sovereignty and land justice organizations; directing a wild foods share program; keeping seeds; and growing perennials. 

Her botanical knowledge is rooted in rural and urban soils within northern temperate forests across two continents. The foundation of her life-long plant tending practice comes from her family and first home - the Volga River watershed in Russia - where learning from uncultivated plants is common practice. Following many years in the Muheconneok watershed, she moved to Onondaga Nation homelands to attend ESF, where she was guided by the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment, where she now coordinates community and youth outreach programs, public communications, and Justice for the Land initiatives.
