Birch trees also abound at EdgeWater Estates! The white birch has been indispensable for thousands of years to our local native culture. Its bark made the best canoes and it was the covering for a home or hunter’s camp. The bark was folded to make pots to boil food or to make baskets. It was also used as writing paper for maps and sketches and in the 1790s, Mrs. John Graves Simcoe made many drawings on birch bark.
