Did you Know? Serviceberry is considered a valuable browse species for deer and elk in winter habitat areas. The human uses for this shrub are seemingly endless. It was essential to many Native peoples because not only are the sweet, juicy berries good fresh but they dry very well (like raisins) and save well through out the winter. They can be dried individually or in cakes.
