August Plant Walk

August 2, 2023 @ 9:30 am - 2:00 pm

Join Certified Herbalist, Lake McCullough, for a fun and educational ramble through the forest, as we identify edible and medicinal native plants. The walks are free of charge! Weminuche Audubon Society is proud to partner with Lake in offering these walks. In order to handle increased popularity and demand for information about our local ecosystems, we will be conducting two back-to-back plant walks at each location. There is a 15-person maximum on each walk. Please call ahead to schedule!

 The August walk will explore wildflowers and medicinal plants of the Continental Divide

First Tour: 9:30 to 11:30

Second Tour: 11:45 to 1:45

Late summer herbs, wildflowers, and edible plants on the Continental Divide. Meet at the Continental Divide Trail parking lot at the top of Wolf Creek Pass. Take Highway 160 east for about 23 miles from downtown Pagosa, to the top of Wolf Creek Pass. Parking is on the right side of the highway, at the Continental Divide Interpretive Sign. Walk is about 2 miles roundtrip. Please be prepared for rocky trails and unpredictable weather, and leave dogs at home.

Advance registration is required and these popular tours book quickly.  Please call Lake at 970-398-0923 to reserve your space or see her at her business, Earthsense Herbals, at 144 Pagosa St.  Shop here for natural remedies, jewelry and fantastic artwork.
