Optional wildflower field trip Monday, July 16

We will visit a wildflower meadow in the nearby Sierra Nevada mountains, identify a number of wildflowers and prepare a flower medicine if conditions are warranted. Those enrolling will be responsible for bringing their own water and food and other hiking items for the day (we will provide a list of local stores with delicatessen and vegetarian items, etc.). Those electing to take the optional field trip need to be in reasonably good physical shape with the ability to hike in mountain conditions. The field trip is considered an enrichment and is not required for completion of the FES Professional Course.
