Aspen or Poplar

Aspen or Poplar

          This tree has a double connection, when it comes to survival, no Aspen Poplar; usually no beaver. Which is one reason that relatively few beaver were ever to be found in Alaska.File:Snowbowlaspens.jpg

The sap layer, a soft tissue lying between the wood and outer bark, is very nourishing; it is scraped off and eaten raw, cut into strips and cooked like noodles, or in soups or stews. Dried and powdered, it can be used as flour.
