Birch tree tapping and other explorations in nature

Looking for something a little different to optimize her health using things discovered in nature, Charlene Clark only needed to step into her Prince George yard to find what she was seeking.“This is Mother Nature’s water – there is nothing purer than that,” Clark said. “Some people make syrup, luckily I don’t have a sweet tooth so that doesn’t interest me. People use it for a soup base or a tea, there are many uses for birch water.

Clark’s exploration into nature began when she unfortunately lost a few friends in a short amount of time and she’s been feeling her mortality lately, she said. “I’m in my 50s and I keep telling people that it was just yesterday that I was in my 20s and tomorrow I will be in my 80s because that’s how quickly time is passing – it happens just that fast.”“I look at myself and I don’t think it’s too late to make some changes because do I want to be the 70-year-old in the scooter or the wheelchair or do I want to be the 70-year-old that’s walking up the cutbanks?” Clark asked.

“So I see the #SpanktheBank people and I’m like ‘you’re 80!’ as I am sitting here having my coffee,” Clark said. “Goals – you’ve got to have them. I’ve found that when you look at one or two things then you find one or two more things and so on.”
