SUMMARY:FORAGING WALK -- WILD FOOD OUTING
DESCRIPTION:  \nSaturday\, August 22\, 10 a.m \n \n  \nWILD FOOD FORAGING AND ETHNO-BOTANICAL WALK \nThe lost art of foraging for one’s meals is experiencing a renaissance as we are seeking to learn the uses of the many wild plants growing everywhere. \nLearning about some wild foods imparts a feeling of self-confidence.  You can use wild foods and wild herbs in times of need\, or just because you want to add these nutritious foods into your daily diet. \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
