Tree School Online: Diamonds Under the Douglas-fir

This class is an introduction to the wild and cultivated truffles in Western Oregon. Truffles are found underground near suitable host trees. The famous Oregon truffles are common beneath Douglas-fir, and are harvested profitably throughout Western Oregon. They occur naturally in 15-30 year-old stands planted on former pasture or farm land, usually in small woodlots. Learn how you can locate, recognize, and harvest these gems and participate in the emerging Oregon truffle industry. Instructor: Charles Lefevre, Ph.D., President, New World Truffieres
