Edible & Medicinal Wildflowers of The Great Basin

Hello Floral and Fungal Friends!

Spring has spring and summer's begun! As the snow recedes from our higher elevations, we will be heading into the hills to discover some of our most unique and beautiful landscapes.

Details

During this walk, we will be experiencing some of the amazing flora that The Great Basin has to offer! This area is is home to a surprising amount of floral diversity, hiding within the cracks and crevices of the desert.

While having a strong focus on the human interactions with these plants, we will also cover the general ecology of this floristically diverse location and explore the fascinating life that exists just beyond our general perception.

Time and Location

TBD 9am-12noon

The walk will be a slow botanical hike consisting of 2-4 miles of moderately-rated trails with occasional elevation changes. Our walk will end at roughly 1pm, but we will have lunch out in the forest for those interested! Walk will take place rain or shine.
