Events for April 19, 2026

Held at Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead, the program will begin with a ranger-led hike from Sikes Adobe to Mule Hill, highlighting the region’s ecology, history, and the cultural and medicinal uses of native plants. After the hike, participants will return to Sikes Adobe for a tour and talk by a Kumeyaay tribal member and herbalist on plant traditions through archaeology, ethnobotany, and oral history. The program will conclude with a community tea gathering, featuring blends inspired by the plants discussed throughout the day. More details and registration coming soon.
