TARWEED SEEDS

People gathered around a table with plant materials.
Interactive presentation on practices related to Tarweed by Chris Rempel, Cultural Resources Specialist for the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde.

You are invited to the Tarweed Awakening Corvallis! Tarweed is awakening in Corvallis and we are beginning to see it more and more as people are letting it grow. Tarweed is also awakening Corvallis to the conditions of Champinefu. Join us to learn about Tarweed the plant, the person and the place.


The Awakening is free and open to the public. There is no registration, so just show up!

It is the peak of summer, with the earthy aroma of Madia elegans (common tarweed) in the fields, and the acorns beginning to form on the oak trees all across the Willamette Valley. The days are noticeably shortening, and fruit is ripening faster than we can pick it (or preserve it!). We are grateful to everyone who participated in our spring and summer happenings, and we are excited to be able to announce a full list of classes and special events from September through November - open for registration today!
