Tree identification in the North East of the United States is a true bushcraft skill in the wintertime. You have to remember here that you may have 6 to 8 months where you can harvest plants and eat them. The 4 or 5 winter and early spring months you have to rely upon trees and the bounty they provide.
Identifying Tree Species In The Wintertime
There is just one small problem identifying tree species in the wintertime. You have to recognize trees by their bark. Many of the leaves that fall to the ground are eaten up by the forest animals. The wind blows the leaves all over the place. Counting on leaves to identify tree species is very difficult in the wintertime.
Tree Identification Is Important
To identify trees is an important skill you should have as a bushman. If you find yourself in a survival situation like the Donner party did back in the 1800’s it will be life saving knowledge.
