Thank you Saint Paul Natural Resources and Lower Phalen Creek Project for sharing the wonder of winter nature and connecting us to the Dakota history of our public lands!

They can be eaten by birds, small mammals, and people! The thin layer of fruit tastes like licorice, dates, or figs, and the hard, crunchy seed within is packed with protein.
Thank you Lower Phalen Creek Project for sharing the Dakota language to cultivate a deeper connection to Indigenous land.
