**INFORMATIONAL POSTING ONLY-See Website at** **[www.wildernesstravelcourse.org](http://www.wildernesstravelcourse.org/)** Dear Group Members, particularly the recent swell of new, never-been-backpacking-before-but-want-to-start members: There is a great Sierra Club opportunity that is about to begin….an opportunity that only happens one time each year and it is one of the best outdoor learning experiences the Sierra Club has to offer. This is the Angeles Chapter Wilderness Travel Course (WTC). Some of you have taken the course and are now leaders and/or knowledgeable hikers. For those of you who have not, enrollment in WTC is something you should consider now. The Wilderness Travel Course helps build outdoor skills so hikers can be safe in the backcountry. The course runs for ten weeks and includes four field trips (two one day and two weekend outings). Students learn map and compass navigation skills for competent hiking off-trail, snow travel, rock scrambling techniques, first aid, nutrition and lots more. The course is followed by unforgettable experience backpacking trips, most of which take place in the High Sierra, Sequoia and Yosemite during the summer months. WTC moves you from being a day hiker to a more serious adventurer. You will acquire skills in trip planning, preparation, equipment and wilderness safety to take you into the backcountry in all seasons, beyond roads and trails with new friends that share your interest in the outdoors. Again, the course runs only one time each year and takes place in Southern California in four locations as follows: West Los Angeles (Wednesdays beginning Jan 6th;Orange County (Tuesdays beginning Jan 12th) Long Beach/South Bay (Wednesdays beginning January 20th); San Gabriel Valley (Tuesdays beginning Jan 26th); The four geographic areas fill up well in advance of the class start date so register early. **FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO REGISTER FOR THE COURSE GO TO: www.wildernesstravelcourse.org**

INTRODUCTION TO WILD FOODS — PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, ON CAMPUS

INTRODUCTION TO WILD FOODS — PASADENA CITY COLLEGE, ON CAMPUS

Sat, Nov 7, 3:00 AM
From Wild Food and Self-Reliance Discovery
4.9

**Friday, November 6, 7 p.m.** **INTRODUCTION TO WILD FOODS for food, medicine, fire, etc.** We will discuss the plants that we deem the most important to know from the standpoint of Food, Medicine, Fire, Water, Shelter, and “other.” These are common “multi-purpose” plants, useful for more than only food. The plants we will be discussing are found widely throughout North America, and are very common in the overall Southwest. Each plant will be rated on a scale of its relative usefulness in each of the key areas. Rather than think in terms of simply “edibility,” you will see that the plants we discuss are multi-purpose, and useful for many of life’s necessities. You’ll also learn which of Christopher Nyerges’ books contain the most detailed information about these multi-purpose plants. A discussion and social time will follow. Sponsored by Pasadena City College. Call 626 585-7608 to sign up. Or go to https://pasadena.augusoft.net
