The workshop will begin with a morning plant walk on the Ventura River Preserve followed by an afternoon workshop under a Coast Live Oak tree at Euterpe Farms. In addition to processing acorns onsite, participants will learn to identify oaks and other useful plants, make cordage from yucca, see an introductory demonstration of primitive firemaking, and enjoy other activities prepared by the multi-talented Nyerges.
