“Bozakmen (aka serviceberries) are still available for FREE at the Bodwéwadmi Ktëgan while supplies last! (There are around 50 left)

🫐Bozakmen is a small tree that is loved by many for their year-round beauty and fruit. Bozakmen shares the gift of their delicious berries to all who will enjoy during late June through July. These berries can be eaten fresh, dried like raisins, or used in jellies, jams, baked goods, among many other foods.

🌡️🌎FCP Forestry and our Land & Natural Resources Division is sharing bozakmen with the community in hopes of increasing their presence on the Land. As temperatures rise and periods of prolonged, hot drought increase, habitat for bozakmen is expected to decrease in our area by more than 20% by 2100. By stewarding this relative in our area, we hope to support their survival in the face of a changing climate as well as promote food sovereignty for our community.

✅ Bring your Tribal ID and stop by the Ktëgan during open hours (Mon-Fri 9-5, Sat 8-4) to receive a bozakmen. The bozakmen are very young, so they are small (no more than 2 feet tall) and easy to carry.

Tips for those who have taken a tree or plan to:

Care for bozakmen and bozakmen will care for you in return:
☀️🏜️If bozakmen is not cared for or exposed to conditions where it may dry out (such as southern slopes, exposed areas, or dry soils), bozakmen may not survive a warmer future with greater drought.

🌬️💧Consider planting bozakmen in a protected site that reduces exposure to wind and sun and has consistently moist soil. Northern facing slopes and lowland areas are great because they will stay cooler and moist even during the hottest times of year. Look for locations that are damp even during the summer!

🌳🌲Planting along the edge of a woodland will provide additional shade and moisture for the plant.

💦🌱If you plant bozakmen in your yard, use mulch to help retain moisture and water during the summer until the plant is mature and happy.”
