Learning should be dynamic and experiential…
Sign up for an herb walk with Lanny, and sign your children up for wilderness discovery with Heather – everybody gets outside!
ADULTS – Lanny Kaufer Herb walks
To register for the Herb Walk, visit Lanny Kaufer’s Register for an Event link to sign up right now by entering your name and the name of the event. Due to weather conditions and the holiday season, there is usually nothing scheduled in December and January.
What are Herb Walks?
Herb Walks and Nature Hikes with Lanny Kaufer are interpretive walks and hikes with an emphasis on edible and medicinal plants, those classified as “herbs” for their culinary and medicinal properties. The educational goal of these outings is to learn to positively identify native plants in their natural habitats and discover their roles in the ecology of the area as well as their applications for humans. This type of learning cannot be done accurately with books, photos and web images alone.
Local Herb Walks in the Ojai area are usually $20 for adults; Nature Hikes are $25. A $5 discount for seniors 62-and-older and a $10 discount for students 13-18 are available by request. (If you want to have your child join you on the herb walk instead of going with Heather, they can attend free, one child per adult, by prior arrangement.)
Events with special guests are priced higher and may not include usual discounts. No dogs or smoking, please, on any walks or hikes. Thanks!
