UTC-07:00

Location

Rancho San Rafael Regional Park | Reno, NV

We hope folks are enjoying the official start of Spring (although someone apparently forgot to tell the weather)! With the rise in temps, we finally have some plants poking out through the frigid soil. Unfortunately (or for us…fortunately), most of these early risers are some of our most opportunistic "weeds" and invasive plants.
What You'll Learn
During this walk, we will learn about the positive aspects of these often maltreated and despised plants; and how they are often some of our favorite delicious and nutritious wild (feral?) foods. In our family, these plants are pretty much the only greens we eat in the spring! In this class, you will learn to identify some of our most common non-native plants, their edible and medicinal uses, and even preservation methods so that you can enjoy them year-round.
Location
We will meet at northwest corner of the parking lot adjacent to Wilber D May Museum, San Rafael and Washington Street. 39.546379, -119.862560.
Accessibility
This field trip will be a leisurely stroll along mostly level ground with plenty of time for questions along the way. If there are additional questions about accessibility please send us an email.
Registration/Cost
*There are two dates and times for this class - Saturday April 20th from 10am-12pm and Wednesday May 1st from 5-7pm*
Registration form can be found here - https://forms.gle/NRJWZEcE1xuCAGBk8
Cost is a $20 recommended donation per person; however, no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

If there are any additional questions please reach out to [email protected] or shoot us a message on FB.
