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.

SUMMARY:WILD FOODS:   TRADITIONAL ACORN PROCESSING WORKSHOP  --
DESCRIPTION:PROCESSING WILD ACORNS — FROM RAW ACORN TO DELICIOUS PANCAKES! \n \n \n  \nSaturday\, June 6\, 10 a.m.  \n$65  ($45 for students and seniors) \nTRADITIONAL ACORN PROCESSING\n \nThis Session is a complete lesson on the historical value of the ACORN in west coast native societies\, along with some nutritional information.

You’ll shell\, grind\, leach\, test\, leach some more\,  and blend with a few other ingredients to make acorn food products. \nIf you didn’t already know this\, ACORNS are a Super-Food\, not simply squirrel food.  They contain all the amino acids!  Native Americans of the Americas understood this and regularly processed and consumed acorn products. In fact\, acorns have been used for food by many cultures the world over.  They are still commonly used in Korean dishes. In the U.S.\, the use of the acorn is experiencing a revival. \nWe will also prepare a few other wild food dishes\, depending on what is in season.  \nThere will be minimal walking today\,  but still bring your field notebook. \nThis can apply to an Ethno-botany certificate. \nLocation sent upon registration. \nPricing: $65 per class.   (Seniors/ students $45) \n  \n  \nFrancisco offers freshly-made acorn pancakes\n  \n \nBooks by Nyerges available at Classes \n  \n

SUMMARY:TRADITIONAL  ARROW  MAKING
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nDude on right\, discusses a new traditional arrow made by Paul Campbell.\nSaturday\,  July 4\, 10 a.m.\, TRADITIONAL ARROW MAKING \n$65  ($45 for seniors and students) \n  \n  \nBUSHCRAFT SKILLS \nThis is one of the fundamental bushcraft skills that all hunter-gatherers needed to know.  You might make a new bow every year\, but you had to make arrows all the time. \nIn this class\, you will learn the basic parts of the arrow\, and how an arrow can be very simple\, or more complex. \nYou will learn at least two common methods that arrows were made in the past. You will learn each step of making the traditional arrow\, and then each student will make one. You will learn all the steps along the way\, from selection of wood\, shaft straightening\, to adding the nocks\, points\, and feathers. \nBring your knife\, and fine files if you have them. Otherwise\, tools will be provided. \nWhat’s more important?  The bow\, or the arrow?  Obviously\, the arrow\, since it is the projectile that flies through the air.  It must be straight\, and properly aligned. \nNearly every society of the past used archery for hunting\, and that meant LOTS of arrows.  You’ll learn that there are several ways to make an arrow that will shoot straight\, and you will make at least two. \nAgain\, bring whatever tools you might have. \nCost is $65\, with a senior and student rate of $45. \nBe sure to RSVP. LOCATION 2.  Hahamongna Watershed Park\, on Pasadena’s west side\, bordering with La Canada. Enter the park from Oak Grove and Foothill\, and drive into the park\, staying on the upper road (do NOT make that left turn and drive downhill)\,  until you see the outdoor  bathroom.  Park there. \n  \n \n  \n  \nCopies of books by Nyerges and Paul Campbell will be available. \n \n
