Monday, December 1, 7:00-8:30 PM, Milpitas Library

Join us for a talk explaining the relationship of California native plants to indigenous peoples and how these plants can be used today.  John Kipping will tell us how native plants can be used for food, medicine, and material sources, especially for basketry.  Mr. Kipping will demonstrate Pomo style coiled weaving.  His talk will include a display of specimens, books and artifacts.  He will also show us how to make manzanita cider.

John Kipping is a naturalist with a keen interest in sharing his passion and knowledge of the biosphere with the community.  His background includes a 30-year career in teaching at the University of California Extension Natural Environmental Studies Program.  For more than 20 years he worked in Natural History education at the Randall Junior Museum, San Francisco Botanical Gardens, and the Audubon Canyon Ranch.  John is a certified arborist.  He is a ship naturalist for Dolphin Charters during the summer in southeast Alaska and British Columbia.
