Brand New! Outdoor Hour Challenge
Snowberry Nature Study
I realize that many of you will not have access to this interesting shrub to examine in person this week. But, you can read all about it and then think of shrubs you have in your local area to compare it to during your outdoor time.
- You can look for shrubs with berries, use a field guide to identify that shrub and then make some comparisons to the snowberry.
- Then, in the future when you come across a snowberry plant, you will be armed with a little knowledge about what makes this shrub interesting and adapted to its habitat.
- Use a field guide or these links to help you learn more about this amazing shrub: Common Snowberry. The images on this page will be helpful in identification: snowberry. Here is a printable: common snowberry.
- Here is a range map: snowberry.
