Foraging Wild Foods in Los Angeles (9/10)

Christopher Nyerges, School of Self-RelianceMeetup; Ananda (Dharma BM), Wisdom Quarterly

Pre-registration required (at link below). Participants will walk along a streamside area, seeing both native and introduced (invasive) plants.

Learn to distinguish the edible plants, medicinal plants, and various other useful plants (use for cordage, survival, making soap, etc.), and even some poisonous plants to avoid.

Learn how to identify and collect wild foods, medicines, soaps, fire making materials, and other incredibly useful parts of plants.

Learn to think like foragers of the past, who had to have an intimate knowledge of the seasons and foresight into the future.

Join in for an insightful walk into a wild area of Los Angeles, with a focus on interpreting the useful plants of the area.

Though this is the dry season now, we will see many trees and native shrubs that have numerous uses. For many native and non-native species provide food and medicine.

Dress comfortably and bring water. The trail will be more or less flat. Location will be sent after registration: $65 (seniors and students $45). More details here:
