Dwarf Birch, also known as Bog Birch for its common occurrence in wet areas, is a small deciduous shrub native to North America.
Found growing up into the arctic circle, this is one of the few trees that grows that far north.
Common in riparian zones and boreal forests across Western Canada. It is a common reclamation species.
This species is often used by local artisans to twist into shapes like willow and make decorative hearts, circles, etc.
Wild Snowberry is a mix of Common Snowberry and Western Snowberry. Each shrub's size, flower, and berry colour may vary.
This plant is abundant across the prairies. It can be planted alone or as a hedge in small yards. This shrub's ornamental berries persist into winter. Wild Snowberry can be a natural habitat and food source for various animals.
