Hobart Rivulet offers wonderful herbal medicine identification opportunities despite the w**d control efforts. 🌳🌿Can you identify this one pictured first?

Last week's herb walk group found many medicinal plants including: st John's wort, willow, poplar, hawthorn, elder, horse chestnut and centaury. Due to the wallaby pressure there is also good representation of toxic w**ds that are important for us to be aware of. In the South four to be particularly aware of because they can look like other plants include: scarlet pimpernel, radium w**d/petty spurge, hemlock and foxglove.

This time the w**d walk was lead by our Dawn Whitten who brought along ribwort/plantain - because a discussion on w**ds feels incomplete without this one according to her. Being a "tasty"/non-toxic plant its often consumed by the wallabies so often not present in these settings although common in backyards. Of course the rivulet is not safe for wild-crafting for medicinal use with the heavy w**d control measures used there.

Thanks to all that took part. If you missed out and are keen to join we will have more w**d walks and other community events coming your way so stay tuned.

🌟🌳 Next Friday we will be exploring herbs along the South Hobart Rivulet!

Join one of our wonderful Naturopaths (this time it will be Dawn Whitten) for a gentle, slow-paced w**d walk along the South Hobart Rivulet, where we’ll explore the often-overlooked plants growing wildly and abundantly around us. This walk is an invitation to see familiar places with new eyes and deepen your relationship with the local landscape and plants.

We’ll learn how to identify common “w**ds” and herbs, traditional uses and medicinal and nutritional qualities. Many of these plants have long histories as food and medicine, quietly thriving alongside us. We would love to share how you can also benefit from these plants in a safe informative way.

This walk is as perfect for curious beginners, nature lovers, herbal enthusiasts, or anyone wanting to feel more connected to place.

Along the way we’ll explore and offer:
• Key identification features (leaves, flowers, growth patterns and what to look out for)
• Discuss processing techniques, herbal qualities and uses
• What to be mindful of including risks of miss-identification and site potential for pesticides and pollutants
• Connect with a small group of like-minded people
• Take home information card and recipe

No prior plant knowledge required, just bring comfortable shoes, sun protection, minimum 1L of water, rain jacket, any personal medication, personal first aid, curiosity and a willingness to look a little closer.

Date: Friday 6th March
Time: 11am-12pm or 4pm-5pm
Terrain: Flat and appropriate for wheelchairs and prams (although some w**ds are a short distance from the track).
Distance to be covered: Approximately 1km
Location: South Hobart Rivulet (details to come in booking confirmation)
*Further details in booking confirmation.

*Please note this event is non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled to another date or time.

We hope to see you there!

Help us cheer on the Goulds folk that are running the Takayna trail run in just 3weeks time!!!.🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🫶 They have been training and fundraising around busy lives and most of them have never ran this far before. So inspiring!

The Takayna trail run is an event organised by the Bob Brown Foundation to raise funds and awareness to protect Takayna.

Takayna is one of the worlds last wild places - a landscape of crisp clean rivers, rugged coastline, and the nation’s largest temperate old-growth rainforest. This ancient ecosystem is a stronghold for biodiversity, providing refuge for threatened species such as the Tasmanian Masked Owl, Spotted-tailed Quoll, and the Giant Freshwater Crayfish. It also plays a vital role in regulating our climate and maintaining clean air and water. Takayna is an Aboriginal living landscape with a globally-significant history and ongoing cultural importance.

Sadly, Takayna is still under continued mining and logging threat. It is efforts from organisations like the Bob Brown Foundation and our wonderful community’s that have given time and/or money that make it possible for this precious wild place to stay wild.

Who’s running this year? 🌳🥳🏃🏽‍♀️
Bronwyn Quinn and Michelle Campbell (members of the gut & microbiome crew), Dawn Whitten and Cerri Whitten (Mother/Daughter team), Marcella di Sessa (Goulds Naturopath)

Who’s volunteering? 🙏
Sarah McCure; Talia West, Jason Hawrelak and Daniel Robson

🌳Want to donate?
See links to fundraising pages below (you will notice you have options 😊)

Also - if you are a practitioner, especially if you work with mum’s 🤰 – check out Dawns offering. She is donating all income from the sale of the webinar “I can only eat 5 foods”, which puts the spotlight on maternal exclusion diets, including risks, misconceptions, and when they may be beneficial. Cost is $40 or more if you like.

🍞 Looking for a gluten free nutrient rich loaf?

Here's a recipe from one of our wonderful Naturopaths, Dawn Whitten.

🌟 Bucket True Whole Grain Gluten Free Bread Recipe

In a mixing bowl add a combination of whole grains including:
Always
• 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk

Always some of these
• 1/3 cup either chia or flaxseeds or combined (or a little more)
A mix of any combination of the following (approximately 2-3 cups in total)
• Millet, sorghum, black rice (or brown rice), buckwheat, quinoa

Optional
• Sesame seeds, pumkin seeds
• ¼ tsp salt

“Method” – neglect/ beat/ neglect bake
Cover with water – using enough water so that the water level is 1.5 inches above the grains. Cover and let this sit for 24-36 hours.
Blend grains with the water remaining in the bowl until a batter is formed – you can also do a courser blend if you like for more low GI bread.
Let this mixture sit covered for 12 to 24 hours
Line baking tin with backing paper (I use the silicon sheet) and pour mixture into the baking tin

Bake for approximately 50 minutes at temp 165C (or lower temp and longer time if more of a high-top loaf). Loaf will be firm on the outside but still a bit moist on the inside. Allow to cool on cake rack.
