The Mighty Oak Tree: A tree of life, medicine and history! 🌳 Oaks stand tall with their vast canopies of unique lobed leaves, gifting us millions of acorns every year. These remarkable trees support over 2,800 wildlife species! 🦡🦊🐦🦎🐝 But their generosity doesn’t stop there—acorns are also edible for humans and can be ground into flour or even used as a coffee alternative! ☕🍞 The oak is also a rich source of natural medicine. Its powerful astringent properties can help heal wounds, aid digestion, and treat conditions like gingivitis! 💚 ------------------------------------------------------ Check out our series of books 📚 - Knowledge To Forage: Wild Edible & Medicinal Plants & Trees 📘 https://amzn.eu/d/hJRPPPj - The Foraging Year: UK Seasonal Calendar & Field Guide 📕 https://amzn.eu/d/eIIdz52 - Foraging: The Complete Guide for Kids and Families!: The fun and easy guide to the great outdoors 📗 https://amzn.eu/d/iazSsHQ Knowledge to Forage - Nature Journal 📒https://amzn.eu/d/bFWT26F Join our follow along foraging educational subscription packs 📝 https://ko-fi.com/followalongforaging ------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay connected with us & follow us in our social media.
