Josh Lee, a native of Tacoma, Washington, is the visionary founder of GoReala Foraging, established in 2024. His journey into the wilderness began long before that, during his time living in Idaho, where he immersed himself in the rugged landscapes of Washington and Idaho. There, he honed his homesteading skills and developed a deep understanding of wild plants, harvesting them for both edible and medicinal purposes. His passion for nature and self-sufficiency led him to start teaching these valuable skills to others in 2005. Over the years, Josh has become a respected educator, sharing his knowledge through various programs aimed at youth and adults across Washington State.

Josh’s commitment to conservation and education is at the core of GoReala Foraging's mission. His extensive experience in the field, coupled with his dedication to nurturing a connection between people and the natural world, makes him a trusted guide and mentor. Through GoReala Foraging, Josh continues to lead foraging tours and educational programs that inspire others to explore the wonders of nature and develop sustainable practices. His leadership and expertise have been instrumental in building a community of foragers who are passionate about preserving the environment.
