Spring Field Botany Course with Mountain Herbalism
May 25 - July 6
Sunday Field Days and Tuesday evening Lectures
This is a collaboration with friends and teachers I respect and admire! In-depth plant identification through botanical keying, as well as harvesting, herbalism and medicine making skills.
These classes are hands-on outdoor adventures. You will learn the skills of plant ID, ethical wildcrafting, herbalism, and medicine-making through direct personal experience. The program consists of field classes where we will travel to the different Rocky Mountain ecosystems within driving distance of Denver. The material learned in the field will be supported by evening lectures where we can cover herbal topics more suited to a classroom environment.
Graduates of our program will have the skills to identify, locate, harvest and process medicinal and edible plants of the Rocky Mountains.
We keep classes small and will accept 8-12 students per group each year. We believe in a collaborative teaching model, and will have 2 teachers on every field trip. No previous experience in herbalism or botany is required.
We are now accepting new students for the 2025 Field Botany Program! If you think you may be interested in joining us, the first step is to fill out the application on the Mountain Herbalism website.
