There were two articles last week in the Press Democrat, both in the Friday, August 6 issue, with local, Forestville connections. One of them, under the title "
Motor home plunges down bank, lands in river", was about what happened after:
A 25-foot motor home rolled off its blocks Friday and plunged into the Russian River with a woman and dog inside, the CHP said.
The other article, "
Herbalists go native", was about herbs, herbalists, herbalism and a profile of the
California School of Herbal Studies. Here is a short excerpt.
Tucked into snug Pocket Canyon 2 miles west of Forestville, the 31-year-old school offers one-day and weekend classes, as well as short- and long-term courses in various aspects of herbalism.
It was founded in the late 1970s by Rosemary Gladstar, often regarded as “The Mother of Herbalism.” She has written many books on the topic, including “Rosemary Gladstar's Herbal Recipes for Vibrant Health” (Storey Publishing, 2008).
Gladstar moved to Vermont in the early 1990s to found Sage Mountain Herbs. She also founded United Plant Savers, which aims to protect native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada.
