  Monday, November 16th (2pm-4pm): The Ethnobotany Tree Walk. Meet at the Bus Shelter just West of Anderson Hall on Stevens Way.

• Instructor: Theodore Hoss

• Ethnobotany is the study of the interactions between humans and plants. Humans around the globe have a deep connection to trees, using them for shelter, tools, food, and medicine. This tree tour is designed to share some of those connections, and the impacts humans can have on the forests around them. We will discuss ethical harvest of materials, identification of several edible and medicinal varieties, and the history behind the use of these species.

• Even though these tours are free, we do request that participants register so we have an idea of how many will attend! These free guided tree walks take place on the University of Washington’s Seattle campus. With over 500 different tree varieties, there is always so much to learn, and no two tree walks are the same. Be sure to dress for the weather!
