NPS / Katie Cullen A hike through the tundra between July and the first frost reveals a bountiful harvest of berries across the Seward Peninsula. The diligent berrypicker can gather gallons of bog blueberries, crowberries, low-bush cranberries, and salmonberries to eat raw or use in jams, jellies, pastries, or pies. It's important to remember that different berries ripen at different times, so if you're planning an outing, be sure to plan accordingly. If you have the opportunity to pick berries, take care to identify the ones you are picking. Keep in mind that there are some poisonous berries in Alaska. |
