Missy Rohs
Missy Rohs is trained in clinical herbalism and counts among her mentors Colette Gardiner (Blue Iris School), Krista Olson (Common Roots), and Michael Moore (Southwest School of Botanical Medicine). She grows, wildcrafts, and processes her own herbs with a focus on sustainable medicines: those that grow easily in populated habitats, and those that can be harvested in the wild with minimal impact. Missy’s love of plants, concern for the planet, critique of capitalism, and interest in people all inform her commitment to herbalism.

This year, Missy is proud to be one of the organizers of the Breitenbush Herbal Conference. In between herbal endeavors, she can be found hiking in the forest, volunteering with Bark... or perhaps feeding her chickens.

Gradey Proctor
Gradey Proctor is a trained botanist who has spent the years studying the flora of Oregon's forests and wildcrafting medicinal and edible plants for his friends and family. He apprenticed at the Columbines School of Botanical Studies with Howie Brounstein. Gradey has surrounded himself with plants in many aspects of his life, from years of nursery work, to working on a CSA farm, to monitoring timber sales with Bark. In addition, he taught botany with Jo Powell and the Northwest School of Herbalism for five years.

When not with the plants, he spends his time with his little girl Scarlet and wife Rhea.
