Description: Pat Battle takes us on a delightful journey along a mountain stream to explore the natural habitat of edible 'branch lettuce' Micranthes Micranthidifolia, also known as brook lettuce, and several other common names. He reminds us to enjoy the treasures of each season, while respecting their sensitive ecosystems and enjoying a taste of nature and the wild abundance of foods that surround us. Look for more coming up in our new "Treasures of the Season" series.
