DESCRIPTION:MEDICINAL PLANTS OF THE EASTERN SIERRA AND GREAT BASIN REGION: A Summertime 
 Field Exploration\n\nThe Eastern Sierra/Great Basin region is a land of 
 extremes; with the highest peak in the continental U.S (Mt. Whitney 
 14,494’) towering over the lowest point (Badwater Basin -282’). The 
 convergence of high mountain peaks which abruptly descend down to the Great 
 Basin and Mohave Deserts makes for one of the most visually stunning and 
 botanically diverse landscapes to be found in the Western U.S. Sub-alpine 
 meadows, riparian woodlands, pinyon-juniper woodlands, sagebrush scrub, and 
 desert marshlands are a few of the habitats to expect on our outings as we 
 search for Yerba Manza, American Licorice, Fireweed, Stream Orchid, Arnica, 
 and many other notable medicinals. We’ll spend our days hiking and 
 botanizing while reserving evenings for interactive hands-on workshops, 
 relaxing with friends, not to mention camping under a blanket of stars. 
 Keep in mind that hot springs and cool mountain streams/lakes will be 
 worked into the curriculum as well! This full immersion field outing should 
 prove to be insightful and rewarding for anyone interested in knowing more 
 about the unique flora of the region.\n\nTopics to be covered/ hands-on 
 activities include:\n\n    * field botany/plant ID lessons\n    * study of 
 plant family characteristics \n    * herbal medicine making activities\n    
 * coverage of edible, medicinal, and utilitarian uses\n    * ethical 
 harvesting guidelines \n    * tips on how to identify and avoid poisonous 
 plants\n    * safety issues\n    * natural history\n    * microscope 
 sessions (for up-close plant observation)\n\nDate: July 1 - July 5. Partial 
 attendance possible\n\nMeet-up/Departure Time: We will meet at a designated 
 camping area between 5pm-7pm on Thursday July 1. Class ends at 5pm on 
 Monday July 5.\n\nLocation: Bishop, CA\n\n*Interested, but don’t have a 
 car? Inquire about carpooling options.\n\nInstructor: Tellur
