Join us when we hike with Mark Rubash Summit County Ethnobotany. This hike will focus on plants of the area and how they were used by those who came before us. We will look at (smell, feel and taste as well!) plant species and their uses as food and medicine; in addition, many plants were used for utilitarian purposes and some had special spiritual significance. The main focus is on the Native American peoples of past centuries, but Europeans also found some special uses. This will be an easy/moderate hike of about 3-4 miles with some elevation gain, depending on our particular route (1000 foot maximum). Date: Tuesday August 18 Time: 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM Location: TBD – to be announced July 1st Cost: $25.00 per person, Registration required
We are dedicated in preserving, educating and engaging our community in the rich history of Summit County, CO.
