This trail loop is less than 1 mile long and features a rushing mountain stream under a canopy of trees\, long views of the surrounding mountains\, and plenty of native plants for identifying\, demonstrating and discussing their many uses by foragers\, herbalists\, and naturalists for food\, herbal medicine\, first aid\, home remedies\, survival\, crafts\, ceremony and more. This time of year we can expect to find Coast Live Oaks\, White Alders\, Indian Lettuce\, Mugwort\, California Blackberry\, Black Sage\, Canyon Pea\, and Soap Plant\, among many others. We will probably encounter mushrooms and other fungi. Poison Oak will also be identified (and avoided). Participants will receive an email afterwards with a plant list (including common and scientific names) and other useful notes. \n\nCanyon Pea on Wheeler Gorge Nature Trail\, February 2022\nTrailside discussion will include sustainable foraging\, Chumash plant uses\, and other topics generated by the participants. This is designated as a “nature hike” rather than an  “herb walk” because the trail includes some short but steep inclines with stretches of rocky footing. Rocks may be slippery if it has rained recently. Good balance and hiking shoes are required. \nWe will meet at Maricopa Plaza parking lot in Ojai at 9:45 a.m. for a 10:00 a.m. caravan/carpool to the trailhead. We’ll walk for two hours beginning at 10:30 and return to Maricopa Plaza by approximately 1:00 p.m. An optional visit to the Wheeler Gorge Visitor Center on the way back to town is also possible. The cost for all ages of participants is $25. Please email me if you have questions about bringing children. \nPlease note: The hike will take place RAIN OR SHINE unless there is a steady downpour that morning or a forecast of thunderstorms. Registrants will be updated\, if needed\, by text and/or email. \nThis event in the Los Padres National Forest is presented under a Special Use Permit from the U. S. Forest Service for wilderness outfitters and guides. \nBefore the walk\, at the caravan meeting place\, I will have my mobile bookstore on display\, including copies of my book\, Medicinal Herbs of California\, available for sale and signing. \n \nPlease be sure to use the REGISTER link below or at the bottom of the page before clicking on the PayPal button to complete payment and secure your space.

After that I will make every effort to fill your space (and I’m usually successful) but cannot guarantee.\nREGISTER\nOn Saturday evening\, February 24\, from 4:30 to 7:15 p.m.\, my wife Rondia and I will lead a Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike to a vista point above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the simultaneous sunset and full moonrise. The sun will set and the full moon will rise at about 6:30 p.m.\, giving us a nice window of time to take it all in.  Following the hike is an optional “after-party” at the Ojai Valley Brewery. Read more about that below. \nRegistrants will receive instructions on where to park. From the trailhead we’ll gradually hike about 1.5 miles on a well used dirt road with gradual elevation gain (and some uneven footing in places) to the vista point\, stopping along the way to meet some valuable native plants including: \nCalifornia Buckwheat\nBlue Elderberry\nWild Horehound\nBlack & Purple Sage\nCoastal Sagebrush\nToyon\nYucca and\nPrickly-Pear \nAfter witnessing the setting of the sun and rising of the moon\, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight\, moonlight\, and flashlight\, returning to the trailhead at about 7:15. \nThe After-Party: Then at 7:30 p.m. you’re invited to join me and Rondia on Bryant Street at Ojai Valley Brewery’s heated outdoor dining area where brewmaster Jeremy Haffner and his staff will be pouring his amazing locally-sourced beers\, ales. stouts and non-alcoholic beverages. They have a pizza food truck and live music scheduled on Saturday. \nJeremy’s brews change with the seasons and reflect the plants of Ojai. Three staples you’re likely to find on his list any time of year are Sugar Bush IPA\, brewed with wild local Ojai “Sugar Bush” Sumac; White Pixie Ale\, brewed with Pixie tangerine zests and orchard blossoms; and an amazing Chaparral Ale flavored and bittered with White and Black Sage and local Sagebrush instead of the usual Hops. Jeremy describes it as “built to mimic the scent on Shelf Road.” That’s where we’ll be walking! Non-alcoholic offerings also change with the seasons and may include an Elderflower-Blackberry Spritzer. \nREGISTRATION INFO:\nThe cost for the hike is $35/person. Senior\, student and child discounts are available by request. Paid 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. \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. \nPlease use the REGISTER button at top or bottom of this page to sign up before clicking on the PayPal link at the bottom of this page to secure your space.
