GRuB’s Wild Food and Medicines Program (WFM) helps people to learn about, access, and protect nutritious wild foods and medicines through hands-on, place-based, and culturally relevant activities. We convene groups of experts to create innovative educational resources such as the Tend, Gather and Grow Teaching Toolkit and Plant Teachings for Growing Social-Emotional Skills. These resources promote the development of sensory observation and storytelling as means for self-expression and social/environmental change and support a sense of cultural pride among Northwest Native children and youth, and a greater understanding of Indigenous people and connection to local landscapes among non-native students.

In response to requests from Tribal Early Childhood Education programs, GRuB is partnering with the Washington State Department of Health, Department of Children, Youth & Families, and Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction to offer teaching resources and technical assistance on native plants, traditional foods, and outdoor learning to interested Tribal ECE programs across Washington State.
