9:30 am – 12:30 pm

Field Class

Led by Rachel Mackow and Jared Rosenbaum

Cost for Participant: $75 for all three classes

 

Walk into a meadow or along a woodland trail, and you are surrounded with edible and medicinal plants, many with long-standing traditional uses and each with a unique ecology. This class will explore the myriad uses for introduced and native plant species, as fruits, spices, teas, salves, oils, and more.

We will also discuss each plant’s role within its natural habitat. Plant identification, safety and responsible collecting, and basic ecology will be taught as part of an ethic of stewardship towards the land. Each class features a leisurely-paced hike, during which we’ll find, discuss, and sample wild plants.
