Keynote Address the evening of February 22nd, delivered by ethnobotanist Dr. Nancy Turner, of the University of Victoria. The Forum will be held February 23rd, 2011.
Huckleberries are a key component of local ecosystems, cultures and economies for communities throughout northwestern North America. A highly productive and nutritious berry, huckleberries and especially the black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum), are an important local food source. Restoring and maintaining productive huckleberry patches are important for the health of both wildlife and people.
At the Western Huckleberry Forum we will bring together individuals involved with and interested in the use and management of huckleberries. Please join us for presentations and discussions of current social and ecological research on the huckleberry.
