Edible and Medicinal Plants Hike
Please join Sanctuary Forest for the Edible and Medicinal Plants hike in the Mattole River headwaters. Beginning at the edge of the forest, local herbalist and naturalist Michele Palazzo will lead hikers along the Mattole River and up over the ridge, stopping to point out and discuss native plants and their medicinal properties. Bring a paper and pen to take notes, or simply come and enjoy a stroll through the temperate-rainforest of the Whitethorn valley. This hike is considered Easy to Moderate, covers a mile and a half of even terrain, and includes a stop for lunch at a beautiful waterfall on the Mattole River. Please meet at 10 a.m. at the Restoration Forestry gate (the first right after Whitethorn Elementary School - directions on www.sanctuaryforest.org). Bring a lunch and water, wear sturdy shoes, and dress in layers. The hike is free of charge, though donations are gladly accepted and help us to offer this program year after year. Hope to see you there!
