Meet Your Instructor
Lindsay
Huettman loves being a part of the Wilderness Awareness
School team in her roles as Outreach Coordinator, and Youth
School Instructor. Her primary passion is connecting humans to wilderness
through the use of native plants. This inspired her to complete a degree
at WWU in Ethnobotany
Stewardship Education. This can include anything from eating Hemlock
cambium and discussing its nutritional benefits, to making baskets out
of Cedar roots and dying them with lichens! Other passions include leading
wilderness survival, whitewater rafting and kayaking expeditions; writing
and playing music, and creating dynamic environmental education curriculum
for K-12. She has a background in organic farming, landscaping, horse
packing & training, homeschool support and is an avid plant dork
when it comes to biochemistry. Most of all she loves to sit in the woods
and watch the leaves uncurl each spring.
