Urban foraging is not just about harvesting plants!&nbsp; This four week guided series explores the ecological relationships unfolding within the four quadrants of San Antonio&rsquo;s Natural/Urban Areas. Participants will learn to identify native and naturalized plants, understand their medicinal and ecological roles, and practice ethical decision-making in shared public spaces. We will cover: <ul fr-original-style="text-align: start;" style="text-align: start; box-sizing: inherit;"><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Foundational plant identification skills</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">How to distinguish native, invasive, and protected species</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Seasonal cycles and plant stages</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ecological relationships between plants, soil, insects, birds, and water</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">Ethical harvesting principles specific to urban environments</li><li fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;">When not to harvest &mdash; and why restraint matters</li></ul> Urban landscapes require a different kind of awareness than wildlands.
