Food sources on campus

Turns out, there's way more edible food on campus than I first realized. There are four ginkgo trees, whoseeaves are rich in antioxidants, when dried and turned into tea. There are also elm trees which produce brown/black colored fruits, which contain a seed very rich in nutrients. In addition, there are several maple trees as well as birch, which can be harvested for their tapped sap. By the library, there are some thornapple trees, which provide a seedy, yet fruitful source of deliciousness. This tour provided me insight into just how many wild edible plants are on campus, and if anyone wishes to further identify these sources, I am open for explanation.
