Join me for a series focusing on the how wild-edible plants can impact our bodies, and how foraging can impact our ecosystems! In each episode, we'll discuss how to identify the plant, where it grows, any ecosystem roles it possesses, how to properly forage/harvest the plant, and finally, how to prepare it to maximize its flavor and herbal benefits.
In this episode, I talk about the birch (Betula sp.), their status as a native North American riparian zone and wetland tree, the herbal & nutritional benefits of of the twigs and bark tissue, how to harvest the bark with property pruning techniques, as well as how to prepare this minty/earthy plant!
* Early podcast access and exclusive mini-episodes only available to patrons (patreon.com/theartofecology), audio podcast version ONLY will be published for the public a week later.
