SUMMARY:THANKSGIVING SEASON -- WILD FOOD COOKING WORKSHOP -- INCLUDING ACORN PROCESSING
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 21\, 10 a.m. \nWILD FOOD COOKING WORKSHOP \nJoin us as we do a short walk to forage wild foods that are in season\, and learn how to recognize what is available now. \nWe’ll then gather and prepare  the various wild foods\, along with some that we have brought\, including ACORNS.  You will work together to create a salad\, a soup\, an egg dish\, acorn pancakes\, tea\, and some sort of desert items.  We’ll have mushrooms if we find any. \nLearn how to eat the older nopales\nIt’s worth noting that when the first peoples of Hahamongna lived here\, they relied on the plant and animal life for their sustenance. You will just be getting a small taste of what that would have been like.  And it is worth noting that the majority of the wild foods that are available today are mostly European invasive plants\,  plants that the first peoples would not have had. \n \nBring your notebook and camera\, and bring your water and bowl.  This is not a spectator sport\, so be prepared to process greens\, make the fire\, and cook. \n$65 ($45 for seniors and students)

SUMMARY:MID-DAY NATURAL NAVIGATION CLASS
DESCRIPTION:December 10\, noon \nGetting around accurately is a valuable survival skill!  Sometimes you have a compass and map\, and sometimes you don’t. \nIn this two-hour class\, you’ll learn how to construct a sun compass\, and how you can use that to tell direction and time.  This sun compass is nearly as accurate as your magnetized compass\, and the “clock” is more accurately telling you local solar time — good enough for general purposes. \n \nYou’ll also learn some natural methods of telling direction\, which are ages-old observations.  You’ll learn which are worth remembering\, and which are “old husband’s tales.” \n \nWe’ll also address how to identify constellations for telling directions\, and how to navigate with only a compass.  So bring your compass. \n \n \nWhat we cover in our short time will depend upon how much time everyone needs to grasp the concepts.  Location 2\, Hahamongna Watershed Park.

SUMMARY:MEDICINAL PLANT WALK
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, Dec. 17\, Noon. MEDICINAL PLANT WALK \nWhen you study the floral wealth of the world\, you find that many plants are very efficacious in healing many of our illnesses and symptoms.   This is a unique and valuable survival skill! \nJust a few generations ago\, before everyone got hooked on drugs and hospitals\, the knowledge of using wild and garden plants for common medical applications was common and normal. Our grandparents often foraged for their own medicinal plants in fields and backyards. \nOn our walk\, we’ll see many of the local herbs used for medicine\, and discuss some proven methods for dealing with common illnesses that are both proven and safe. \nLocation:  Arroyo Seco\, exact location sent upon registration. \nElder flower and fruit.
