I took a photo of this group of Bunchberry (Cornus Canadensis) while at the Dumoine River with the CPAWS-OV DRAW retreat in 2018. This winter, I finished a small painting of them to help me remember that lovely August week.

During the retreat, we had a talented forager and wild-craft cook with us. He told us the berries, when ripe, have a mid taste and the seed is edible as well.

I am delighted to have the opportunity to go back to the Dumoine River Art for Wilderness retreat again this year!
