Join Ashley for a peaceful plant walk along a mountain creek during the Summer Solstice. This guided experience offers the opportunity to explore a local trail while learning the fundamentals of botany and gaining an introduction to medicinal plants. Topics will also include sustainable harvesting practices and basic methods for processing plants for medicinal use.
Participants should come prepared with a rain jacket, layers, plenty of water, a snack, and sturdy hiking shoes or sandals suitable for uneven terrain. The route is primarily flat, at an elevation of approximately 8,600–8,800 feet, with only a few gentle inclines.
No prior experience is required. This walk is especially well-suited for beginners, though participants of all experience levels are welcome.
