SUMMARY:URBAN PREPAREDNESS  -- in view of the many recent Disasters
DESCRIPTION:Urban Survival Guide\, by Nyerges\nSaturday\,  May 2\, 10 a.m. \nUrban Preparedness can mean a life of self-reliance!   But it also means you’re a bit more prepared for disasters such as an earthquake\, or a flood\, or a fire. \nWe will cover some of the basic elements that you should know in order to take care of yourself at home.  This class is all about urban preparedness. \nWe’ll cover issues about WATER and how to store water in Los Angeles County.  What FOODS should you store\, and grow.  We will also show (and cook) some wild foods. We will share how to COOK in your backyard if you can’t use  your indoor stove.  We will address first aid only minimally — we suggest  you take a Red Cross course. We will share TOILET alternative that is relatively easy.  We will also show some of the alternate devices to ELECTRICAL devices.   And we’ll talk about the notion of a “bug out bag\,” and some common sense\, such as the benefits of joining Neighborhood Watch\, or starting one\, if one is not active in your neighborhood. \nThis class will include a short PLANT WALK to learn about edible and medicinal wild plants. \nLocation sent with registration \nBooks and products will be available for sale \n \n \n

SUMMARY:FORAGING WALK -- WILD FOOD OUTING
DESCRIPTION:  \nMay 9\, 10 a.m \n \n  \nSaturday\, May 9\, 10 a.m. \nWILD FOOD FORAGING AND ETHNO-BOTANICAL WALK \nJoin us for our outing where we explore the edible\, medicinal\, and other useful qualities of many of the plants found in the environment with many introduced plants.  Both natives and non-natives will be seen.  This will be leisurely and you will get a chance to taste some of the plants. \nWe will introduce a few basics of systematic plant identification\, and ways you can take your own records.  We’ll also bring up another important point:  Many of the wild plants that we see — and especially the non-natives — can be easily cultivated in your own yard for ease of harvesting. Also\, we’ll tell you about some of the local native plant nurseries where you can obtain native plants — such as toyon\, ceonothus\, oak trees\, mulefat\, elder\, etc  — and grow them in your own yards\, which is an ideal situation. \nWear comfortable footwear and bring water.   Bring a bowl for eating. \nThis class can be credited towards the Ethno-botany certificate. \nDirections sent upon registration. \n$65 (Seniors and students $45). \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:MEDICINAL PLANT WALK
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 14\, 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.
