Trees, Plants and Animals Spotted by Old Skool Scout

I wanted to close my blog about my trip to Vässarö with a list off all the trees, plants and animals I determined. They are bound to be a lot more. I did however focus on the trees and plants I could use. I’m still a beginner so it took me a long time to look things up in my books and dubblecheck to be sure.

I would still like tocrossreference it with the Belgian and Swedish Red List. I therefore only pluck the plants I was sure of weren't protected by law.

NE stands for non-edible (but non-poisenous neither).

E stands for edible (some part of the plant might still be poisonous though)

M stands for medicinal

P stands for poisenous (any part of the plant)
