The paper birch is impossible to miss in a Downeast Maine woodland — white bark peeling in horizontal sheets, catkins hanging heavy in early spring, leaves turning clean yellow before the first frost. It is one of those trees that marks time.
Drawn in the tradition of 19th century botanical illustration, Betula papyrifera is documented here as it grows on our 60-acre woodland in Downeast Maine. Leaf form, catkins, bark structure, and winter bud rendered in copper engraving style — precise, unhurried, rooted in a specific place.
Part of the Woodland Studies collection. Each specimen is rooted in a specific place, a specific season, a specific tree.
