Nature Awareness and Eco-Adventure Education Series!
 

Free | Friday | 12 –12:45 pm | Nov 6 | A Lesson in Naturopathy: Why you should make your own teas!

Hosted by Kirsten Cook

Learn natural history and eco-friendly ethics!

UCSB Adventure Programs is very proud to offer a place-based Zoom-workshop series by our own staff naturalist, Kirsten Cook, designed to promote nature awareness, develop healthy outdoor ethics and increase knowledge about local ecosystems within our community.

A Lesson in Naturopathy: Why you should make your own teas! The purpose of this workshop is to make people more aware of the herbs around them, and how they can be used for personal health, refreshment, falling asleep, reducing stress, etc. It will also provide more information on prepackaged teas, and why they may not be the best for some people.

Come join us for discussions and activities on a host of fascinating topics including plant and animal identification with risk awareness, local indigenous ethnobotany and history, ocean and seaside biota and ecosystems, fire ecology, common natural hazards, Leave No Trace principles (invasive species, respecting Wildlife, outdoor ethics,) sustainable foraging, local geology and geography, as well as natural history on a variety of Adventure Programs destinations regularly offered throughout the year such as the Channel Islands, Los Padres National Forest, Joshua Tree, Yosemite and the Colorado River! With so much more to learn about and explore!

These will be weekly, 30-45 minute interactive Zoom-call workshops, presented by our Adventure Programs staff.

Join us each week for another exciting topic on our place based nature series!
