Wild Chives are most likely found in areas that are moist and open. A herb and a member of the Amaryllidaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 01. Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; unlikely to
be extinct soon as it is found in other areas of North America. Please know that most native NW plants make humans sick, many can kill. ~1 in 10, with proper preparation, are consumable; even then perhaps only a single part of the plant (root, stalk, leaf, or fruit) is edible. To consume native foods, you must welcome the knowledge and teachings of your elders, as the Indigenous Peoples in the Northwest did for 1,000s of years. (Imagine, with the tsunamis, viruses, bacteria, and wars that wiped out Indigenous tribes’ knowledge keepers … that they were able to survive!)
