SUMMARY:"Wild Food and Medicine of Early California:" A 2-Part Experiential Class for OLLI
DESCRIPTION:“Wild Food and Medicine of Early California:” A 2-Part Experiential Class for OLLI\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\nWhat was it like for Indigenous Californians and early settlers to find and prepare plant foods and medicinal home remedies? This immersive\, hands-on course invites you to find out by stepping into a “village-for-a-day” experience. Over two interactive sessions\, participants will work together to process flavorful black walnuts and to prepare a pain-relieving sagebrush liniment. Along the way\, you will learn about regional plants\, seasonal rhythms\, and the cultural knowledge that sustained communities for generations. Class size is limited to 30 participants. There will be a small additional fee for course materials. \n\n\n\nThis OLLI class\, taught by me\, is offered on two consecutive Wednesdays beginning April 22 and ending April 29 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Each week’s class will include a one-hour “herb walk” on the campus to meet the native plant community in the flesh\, so to speak\, and learn about their uses. The second hour will be an outdoor\, hands-on workshop  \n\n\n\nEnrollment began March 16. For more information and registration\, please visit OLLI at CSUCI. I will not be handling any registration or payment for this class. \n\n\n\nThe Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at CSUCI is a branch of the Extended University – originally designed for adults over 50 but now open to students of all ages – that offers college-level noncredit courses with no assignments or grades. In their own words\, “OLLI at CSUCI is dedicated to enriching the lives of lifelong learners by providing opportunities for intellectual stimulation and social connection designed for adults aged 50 and above. We foster a love of learning through university-level courses\, social & educational activities\, and special events.”

SUMMARY:Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike
DESCRIPTION:Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFull moon\, May 2023. Photo: Joe P. Powers \n\n\nJUMP TO REGISTRATION\nOn Thursday evening\, April 30\, from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.\, Rondia and I will lead a Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike to a vista point above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the sunset afterglow and rising of the moon. Both will happen around 7:20 p.m. Although the actual time of the full moon is on Friday\, May 1\, at 10:23 a.m.\, it is obviously not visible then. And It rises too late that night to schedule a hike. So April 30 is the ideal time to view it in its fullness.  \nWe’ll meet at the trailhead at 5:15 p.m. for a 5:30 p.m. start\, then gradually hike about 1.5 miles to the viewing site\, experiencing some elevation gain on a well-worn\, dirt fire road with uneven footing in places. Along the way we’ll stop to meet some valuable edible and medicinal plants\, including: \nBlack & Purple SageBlue ElderberryCoastal SagebrushPassionfruitPrickly-Pear andYucca \nWe’ll also identify Poison Oak. \nAfter witnessing the sunset and moonrise\, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight\, moonlight\, and flashlight\, returning to the trailhead at about 8:00 p.m. I will have copies of my book\, Medicinal Herbs of California\, for sale and signing before and after the hike. \nHeavy rain or chance of thunderstorms will cancel event. \nIf there is interest we can meet up at Ojai Valley Brewery for an after-party. \nMy 2021 book\, Medicinal Herbs of California\, will be available at the trailhead for sale and signing.\nPaid registrants will receive a confirmation email a few days prior to the event with all necessary info\, including what to bring\, weather forecast\, and directions to the trailhead. Afterwards\, they also will receive a follow-up email with a list of all plants and wildlife seen. \nIn addition to the adult tickets ($35)\, tickets for students 13-17 ($25) and children 6-12 ($15) are offered below. One supervising adult must accompany each child 12 years old or younger. Senior discount is available by request. \nNo dogs or smoking\, please.  \nMY WEATHER POLICY: Walks and hikes will go on RAIN OR SHINE unless there is a steady downpour on the morning of the event\, probability of thunderstorm\, or a solid forecast of either the day before. Light rain or drizzle will not result in cancellation on my part. I will update registrants by email and text\, as needed\, and issue refunds if I need to cancel because of the weather. \nMY CANCELLATION POLICY: I will refund your payment if you notify me up to 72 hours (3 days) before the start of the event.
