This guided plant walk takes place in the Superstition Mountains and focuses on medicinal plants native to the Sonoran Desert as they grow in a rugged, mountainous environment. This area offers the opportunity to observe desert species responding to rocky soils, elevation changes, and exposed conditions.
We’ll move slowly through the landscape, observing plants where they grow and how they respond to the land, the season, and the conditions around them. The walk emphasizes plant identification, along with how these plants are used in herbal medicine and traditionally as food.
Some plants discussed may also appear on other plant walks throughout the season. Seeing the same species in different locations supports practical plant knowledge over time.
Terrain includes uneven dirt paths and changes in elevation typical of desert landscapes. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are recommended.
This is an educational walk. No harvesting will take place.
Advance registration is required. No walk-ups. Exact meetup details are emailed after registration.
