Did you know that the yellow flowers of a rabbitbrush make dye, the fibers of a yucca become woven baskets, and pinyon pine nuts have been a pantry staple for millennia? Learn about common plants of northern Arizona and how they're used as we delve into ethnobotany, the study of traditional knowledge around plants' medicinal, edible, and cultural uses. Join us on Thursday, July 20, 2023, for an exclusive tour of the Museum of Northern Arizona ethnobotanical garden with Phyllis Hogan, acclaimed herbalist and ethnobotanist with over 40 years of experience practicing and teaching in the American Southwest. At the museum, we'll walk through the Michael Moore Native Medicinal Plant Garden, which hosts a variety of native Colorado Plateau plants. Space is limited to 12 people, so sign up today.
Anyone! Membership is optional, but we ask that participants who are comfortable financially become members of the Grand Canyon Trust with a $25 donation. Members receive a subscription to our biannual print magazine, The Advocate. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Our top priority is the safety and comfort of our trip participants. Precautionary measures that will be followed on trips to avoid the spread of communicable diseases will be communicated in pre-trip emails. If we feel that a trip cannot be safely conducted due to public health conditions, or for any other reason, we will cancel the trip with as much notice as possible. Contact volunteernow@grandcanyontrust.org with any questions.
The Grand Canyon Trust is committed to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion at every level of our work. The conservation field and the Colorado Plateau have their own histories of racial injustice and exclusion and as a largely white organization, we know we have work to do. We are actively working to make the conservation field and the Colorado Plateau more just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive.
