Healing plants walk Paies

The healing plants walk and talk was launched with a video playlist of healing plants. That playlist will need to be altered to better fit the residential class time slot and the plants encountered on the walk. Those not seen should be deleted, those seen should be retained or added. 


This term I opted to pass out a healing plants handout that included some of the plants we would be seeing along with details on the upcoming healing plants presentation and healing plants iNaturalist observation.

The class walked up into Paies where I identified Miconia crenata, Melastom malabathricum, Glocidion ramiflorum, Premna obtusifolia, Morinda citrifolia, Premna serratifolia (my distinction for oahr), Scaevola taccada, Cordyline fruticosa, Piper ponapense, Piper methysticum, Microsorum scolopendria. These are all present up just over the first hill. Volkameria inermis is growing on the river bank. I did not see Curcuma longa this term.

This term the class concluded at the bridge at around 5:15, a tad later than intended. Hence the need to condense that video list to perhaps a single short tulsi and haldi video, and maybe the video "How collaboration captures Indigenous knowledge and wisdom." Ethnobotanical research, Mentawai

Attendance was taken at the bridge...
