SUMMARY:INTRODUCTION TO WILD FOODS -- PASADENA CITY COLLEGE\, ON CAMPUS
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 6\, 7 p.m. \nINTRODUCTION TO WILD FOODS for food\, medicine\, fire\, etc. \nWe will discuss the plants that we deem the most important to know from the standpoint of Food\, Medicine\, Fire\, Water\, Shelter\, and “other.”  These are common “multi-purpose” plants\, useful for more than only food. The plants we will be discussing are found widely  throughout North America\, and are very common in the overall Southwest.   Each plant will be rated on a scale of its relative usefulness in each of the key areas.  Rather than think in terms of simply “edibility\,” you will see that the plants we discuss are multi-purpose\, and useful for many of life’s necessities. \nYou’ll also learn which of Christopher Nyerges’ books contain the most detailed information about these multi-purpose plants.  A discussion and social time will follow. \nSponsored by Pasadena City College. Call 626 585-7608 to sign up.  Or go to https://pasadena.augusoft.net

SUMMARY:FORAGING BY THE SEASON:  WINTER
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 19\, 10 a.m. \nFORAGING BY THE SEASON:  WINTER \n  \n \n‘ \n  \nWINTER FORAGING in the West:  What are the seasonal greens\, nuts\, seeds\, berries\, roots\, etc. that are available now? \nThis series of Seasonal Foraging occurs once per season\, where you can learn to see nature through the seasons\, from a forager’s perspective.  The essence of this class is to develop seasonal knowledge and observational skills: How to look\, where to look\, what to look for.  Plus\, we will also focus on responsible and sustainable gathering methods\, including collection of seeds and cuttings so you can grow plants in your own backyard.  See web site for details. \nThe essence of this class is to develop seasonal knowledge and observational skills: How to look\, where to look\, what to look for.  Plus\, we will also focus on responsible and sustainable gathering methods\, including collection of seeds and cuttings so you can grow plants in your own backyard. \n \nYou’ll learn how to identify and collect foods\, medicines\, soaps\, fire-materials\, and other useful parts of plants.  You’ll learn to think like foragers of the past\, who had to have an intimate knowledge of the seasons\, and foresight for the future.  (For example\, sometimes you do NO foraging in an area if the plant or seed is not abundant.) \nJoin us each quarter for an insightful walk into a wild area\, with a focus on interpreting what’s available that season.  Each session will include demonstrations\, hands-on practice\, and sampling of the seasonal foods\, such as salad\, soup\, biscuit\, or tea.  Each session includes a list of what is normally available in that season. \n  \nWINTER   \nThis is the time when we begin to  get our rains\, and we can begin to see the hillsides and valleys greening-up.  Learn to identify young seedlings and sprouts\, and which are already edible.  Learn to identify those locations where you can come back to later. Some fruits that occur in early spring\, and we’ll discover those.  This would also be the time to collect cuttings for sprouting\, so you can grow these plants at your own home.   Mushrooms are beginning now. \nLOCATION:  We will explore a foothill canyon in the Angeles National Forest. Details sent upon registration. \n  \n
