FORAGING FOR WILD FOODS, and medicines — a walkabout and cookout!

Saturday, October 24, 10 a.m.

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 and medicines.  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 native and non-native local  plants, and the uses of the many plants we’ll see.  We’ll see whatever is available at this time of the year.  It has been dry, but the rain will help freshen things up.

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.

We will also cook some wild greens, depending on what is available, so bring your bowl.

Carry water, and dress comfortably.

This walk can be applied towards the Ethnobotany certificate.

Location sent with registration$65  ($45 student/senior).

Books by Nyerges will be available, as will knives and other tools.
