Tarweed is hosting two high school interns this Spring, and their time with Tarweed is soon coming to a close! Along with administrative support and learning about the inner workings of a nonprofit and folk school, Lillie Epps and Hazel Seivers shadowed Steering Committee members and deepened their relationships to craft.


Keep reading below to learn about their internship experience so far!

You are invited to learn about Tarweed, a culturally and ecologically important plant that is reawakening in Corvallis/Benton County by watching this locally-important webinar.


Join over 300 people who registered for this Champinefu Lecture Series webinar to learn about why Tarweed (Madia or sawal) is the “Plant for the People” and why Tarweed is now a “buzzword” in Corvallis (Champinefu).
