Los Angeles
Plant Identification + Foraging Hike
Using all 5 Senses
We'll be connecting to nature like a true naturalists, using all 5 senses - sight, sound, scent, and yes touch and taste (foraging where appropriate).
This event will give you all the tools you need to get to know the wild plants and animals—both native and non—that populate our local environment. By understanding flora and fauna using different senses you'll not only be able to identify them, but also understand how they change over time, how people impact them for good or for bad, and how we can all become better stewards of the environment around us.
