another edible and medicinal foraging excursion and field
study.
I know many of you are interested, so I'm passing this along.

WHAT: Edible & Medicinal Plants of central California . A guided 3 hour walk through a local ecotone (a transitional zone) affording us a view of diverse flora. Participants will be provided with a plant species worksheet for recording identification and plant part information for eating and medicinal uses. We will work on putting together food from the field offerings. Participants will learn basic botanical nomenclature to aid in identifying plant species when using field guides. This workshop is for all levels of learners. Become familiar with your area and create a meaningful connection.
