Last month, our Alaska Way of Life 4-H Club learned to locate, identify and safely process wild edibles with guidance from community members. Youth learned about edible plant species like fiddleheads, deer heart and licorice root fern, and saak (hooligan).

Thanks for sending the data @AlaskaWx. Here are running 5, 10, 15, and 20 yr standard deviations of the data. The drop-off is quite abrupt. Do you have access to stn metadata? Did the station move or measuring tech change around 1964?

On this day in 1867, Russia formally transferred the territory of Alaska to the United States. It is celebrated annually as Alaska Day. The U.S. paid Russia $7.2 million, which works out to about 2 cents per acre.
Happy Alaska Day!
