Edible & Medicinal Oaks/Acorns of the Western U.S. - Harvesting, Processing, & Preparation Methods (Online Session)
.
Oaks have been, and continue to be, an important source of food and medicine for millennia across the globe. That said, here in the Western U.S. they are of particular importance due to both their sheer abundance and diversity...with approximately 47 native species found growing from the Trans-Pecos region of West Texas to the Pacific! And although ALL oaks (Quercus spp. & relatives) have edible/medicinal virtues some are much more preferred than others...for a variety of reasons.
.
During this information packed online class we'll be exploring (in exhaustive detail) the main species traditionally used for food & medicine in our area while focusing our attention on all three Quercus sections: white, red, and intermediate oaks. At the same time we'll delve into all aspects of the process, including: botany/I.D, ethical harvesting methods, acorn/bark processing, food/medicine preparation methods (including both hot & cold leaching), historical & modern food/medicinal uses, ethnobotanical significance, while also covering any utilitarian potential. Absolutely guaranteed to take your oak awareness and appreciation to a whole new level!
.
The class session will be recorded and will include Q&A at predetermined intervals. Participants will have access to the session recording for 2 weeks following the class.
.
Side Note: Although we'll be focusing on oaks that are native to the Western U.S. in this course the processing/preparation methods covered could just as easily apply to any other Quercus (oak) species in the world.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

-So I paid the class fee via PayPal...am I now officially registered and on the roster? Yes, your spot in class is now secure. PayPal will not accept online payments when a class is already sold out. Your payment confirmation/receipt has been sent to the email address associated with your account.

-Will the class be recorded and available to participants for viewing afterwards? Yep, just as is stated above.

-Is this course suitable for kids? Nope. My adult-level online classes are in no way suitable for youth under 18. Trust me: they would be bored to tears.

-I see that hundreds/thousands of people have clicked on "interested and/or going" for this event...what are your class size limits? Don't take Facebook numbers too seriously folks...I cap these types of online classes at around 35 students :) That said, it IS true that my classes tend to fill to capacity months ahead of time...so procrastination is not recommended if you are hoping to secure a spot.

-When should I expect to receive more course details after registering? As is clearly stated in the above description: "Detailed class info will be emailed out to the registered/paid participants 7 days prior to the class session.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this message will be sent to the email associated with your PayPal transaction (and for some people this may not be their primary email). Still can't find it? Then make sure to carefully check your spam folder 🙂"

-I've never used Zoom before and am not very tech savvy...can I still register? Yes. All students will receive an email containing info to help prep them for how to effectively navigate the Zoom video platform ahead of the program start date. Zoom is very user friendly and doesn't take long to learn (especially with a little guidance).

-I'm a total beginner...will this class be too advanced for me? Nope. This class was designed for both beginner/intermediate students alike.
