Description: Due to popular demand a second field trip with Jan Timbrook has been scheduled. Jan is one of the leading experts in Chumash studies and ethnobiology. The publication of her book, Chumash Ethnobotany: Plant Knowledge Among the Chumash People of Southern California, represents a lifetime achievement. Based on three decades of research and illustrated with botanical watercolors by Oak Group artist Chris Chapman, this long-awaited book explores the fascinating relationships between native plants and the first people of the Santa Barbara region.
On the field trip discover some of the plants used by one of California’s best-known indigenous cultures. On this easy hike in the upper Santa Ynez Valley, see dozens of plants in varying habitats which played important roles in Chumash life.
