Native American Plant Uses Hike


Lori led participants down Serrano Creek - and into the past - to learn about the native plants and the ways the Tongva and Acjachemen once used them to survive.

Upon our retun Reggie took a few participants on a quick tour of the lake Forest Nature Park, to see the ways native plants are used there in the landscaping. This picture shows datura in the foreground...


and here is prickly pear and coffeeberry in fruit...


Guests enjoyed a sampling of native foods...
