REGISTER
On Tuesday evening, September 1, from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m., I’ll lead a Full Moon Sunset Herb Walk to a vista point above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the simultaneous moonrise and sunset. The full moon will rise at about 7:30 p.m. and the sun will set at the same time, giving us a perfect window of time to take it all in. Attendance will be limited to 12 participants, temperatures checked on arrival, face coverings will be required, and we will maintain 6 feet of physical distance at all times. Anyone with possible COVID-19 symptoms is asked stay home and a refund will be issued if you notify me of cancellation prior to 6:00 p.m. There will be no onsite book sales but I will offer free shipping for online orders of $25 or more for participants at this walk.
We’ll meet at the Shelf Road trailhead at the top of N. Signal Street between 5:45 and 6:00 p.m. Then we’ll gradually walk about 1.25 miles to the vista point, stopping along the way to meet some valuable edible and medicinal plants, including:
Coastal Sagebrush
Toyon
Black Walnut
Prickly-Pear
Elderberry
Purple Sage and
Hollyleaf Cherry
After witnessing the rising of the moonrise and sunset, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight, moonlight, and flashlight, returning to the trailhead by approximately 8:30 p.m.
