This week we hung out with one of our fantastic local experts on California native plants, Nicholas Hummingbird.  Nicholas sees our natural world through the lens of both his Cahuilla/Apache heritage and a keen suite of observational skills.  He works through a range of projects to foster more native biodiversity and a more sustainable engagement with the natural world.  Here we talk about his perspectives on traditional ecological knowledge under the shade of a large live oak just above Paradise Falls in Wildwood Regional Park in Thousand Oaks.

Follow Nicholas on Instagram for a wide array of native plant cultivation how-tos, indigenous culture, and deep dives into the conservation of the natural world that is southern California: https://www.instagram.com/_native_hummingbird/?hl=en

This morning in Wildwood we hit "record" as we were still getting situated. Rather than editing out this part, I decided to leave this bit of broader context about our ESRM approaches to teaching in.
