Alpine Village School partners with Rootwork Yoga & Herbs to bring you Foragers and Wildlings Family Forest School! Our immersive family classes are designed to deepen your connection with nature as we invite you to explore native plants, learn how to sustainably forage medicinal herbs, develop a keen sense of awareness on our trailheads, and build a wide range of survival skills.
Our intention is simple: encourage families to explore the outdoors, learn together, and build a relationship with the abundantly beautiful area that surrounds us in the Inland Pacific Northwest. Join us every Friday at a different trailhead to practice basic survival skills, identify animal tracks, forage for medicinal plants, and more. We can’t wait to connect and grow with our forest school families!
Foragers Class
Miss Rachael’s class will take Foragers into nature’s classroom—through the woods and meadows, alongside creeks and lakes—in search of the plants, animals, and insects we share our home with. We will learn to identify specific wild plants and trees and explore the medicinal properties of native plants and their common uses. All the while, we’ll enjoy time in community—connecting with Mother Earth and her creatures, singing songs, looking for animals and tracks, and having tea time with the trees.
Wildlings Class
Kindle a deep connection with the wonders of the world and the art of survival with Tina’s “Wildlings” wilderness curriculum. Become immersed in what the ground is made of, where the most useful plants are growing, and how to protect yourself from the elements of the largely unpredictable force we call nature.

From Idaho to Massachusetts we love our farm over pharma T-shirts! Everything from our order shipped fast and quality was above our expectations the softest T-shirts and high quality trucker hats. Very happy farmers out here in Massachusetts!
Love thr shirt. Very well made, but I love what it says on the front of it. This is my second shirt from you that has rge same saying minus the rooster on it.
Absolutely better than pictured! Very comfy t-shirt, proportionate, and true-to-size. I have gotten a lot of great laughs from it.. Great conversation starter in a world where people are consumed by their phones! Thank you!
Won this hat from a giveaway and couldn’t be more stoked! Already owned the matching camo sweatshirt which has easily become my favorite. Especially for the looks I receive when I wear it. Cheers!
My kids love them... happy to support everything you are doing.
In fact I have been wanting to contact you for months about maybe a brief phone call because I have some questions about your school and other kinds of volunteer support that I would rather discuss than email, though you're free to contact me by email too. I am 68, live in Bonners Ferry and drive my transport truck and 20' trailer hauling airplane parts around the western states.
Let me know when you have a few minutes for a quick call sometime before upcoming Monday (Sept 14).
After that I'll be out of town until the following Tuesday (Sept 22).
Look forward to hearing from you!
