Welcome!
The blog is a record of my Alaska berry gathering dates since 2011, mostly in Southcentral and Interior Alaska. I also have info pages for the species I usually gather, with various names and photos of the plant. Please comment with any other local names you know! I’ll add more species as I learn more and visit more areas.
