FORAGING FOR WILD FOODS, WITH RIPARIAN FOCUS, — A walkabout

Saturday, July 25, 10 a.m.

UPPER ARROYO SECO

We’ll walk into the watershed area, through the willows and waterways,  and see the diverse flora, with WILD FOODS,   EDIBLE CALIFORNIA PLANTS.  We will learn about the wild foods, wild medicines, and some uses of the yucca plant.

During our walk, we’ll learn about the unique riparian plants, and the uses of the many plants we’ll see.  We’ll see the alders, mulefat, mugwort,  willow, etc. There are many other riparian plants, which we may or may not see, depending on the conditions.

There are always lots of surprises in store on these sorts of walks. We see native California plants, non-native introduced plants, and various wildlife.
