[MCN] Plant ID & Foraging Field Day

[Sam Duncan]

The Plant Identification and Foraging Field Day, a combined effort of the Natural History Center and the YWCA's GRIT program<https://ywcaofmissoula.org/services/girls-empowerment-guts/>, is a one-day workshop during which participants will learn the basics of plant identification and get hands-on experience identifying edible and medicinal plants in the wild and throughout town. We hope that participants will walk away with basic knowledge of how plant ID works, the ability to identify common plants and "weeds", and the enthusiasm to continue their education! This course will be led by experienced botanists, guided by low-impact practices, and taught within the context of Indigenous history and knowledge.
