DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n \n \nSEASONAL FORAGING — SUMMER \nSaturday\, June 20\,
  10 a.m. \n  \nThis series of  field trips occurs one per season\, so you 
 can learn to see nature through the seasons\, from a forager’s perspective
 . \nThe essence of this class is to develop seasonal knowledge and observa
 tional skills: How to look\, where to look\, what to look for.  Plus\, we 
 will also focus on responsible and sustainable gathering methods\, includi
 ng collection of seeds and cuttings so you can grow plants in your own bac
 kyard. \nYou’ll learn how to identify and collect foods\, medicines\, soap
 s\, fire-materials\, and other useful parts of plants.  You’ll learn to th
 ink like foragers of the past\, who had to have an intimate knowledge of t
 he seasons\, and foresight for the future.  (For example\, sometimes you d
 o NO foraging in an area if the plant or seed is not abundant.) \n  \nJoin
  us each quarter for an insightful walk into a wild area\, with a focus on
  interpreting what’s available that season.  Each session will include dem
 onstrations\, hands-on practice\, and sampling of the seasonal foods\, suc
 h as salad\, soup\, biscuit\, or tea.  Each session includes a list of wha
 t is normally available in that season. \nSUMMER \nIn this period\, there 
 usually has not been rain for awhile\, so the environment is a bit drier. 
  Most of the early spring vegetation is mature. However\, there are some g
 reens that develop a bit later and are typically found in summer\, such as
  purslane\, and lamb’s quarter.  This is also the time for many of the fru
 its to be collected\, such as wild cherries\, manzanitas\, and the ceonoth
 us berries which are used for soap.  The acorns are starting to mature.   
 You’ll learn what’s in season in this traditional “harvest” time\, and how
  to collect sustainably\, and responsibly. \n  \nSarah Shin collects some
