We’re looking for guides in:
-Wild Edible Plants
-Seaweeds
-Seafood
Details:
-Teachers must be very personable and have a passion for nature and education
-Previous experience with teaching, as well as a degree in botany are a plus, but not required. If you are a self taught lover of wild foods you should definitely still apply.

You need to be the kind of person that can point to a plant and know if it’s edible, what it’s history is, and what the native Americans used it for medicinally. Basically we’re saying that deep knowledge and experience is very important.
