Mooseberry, also called Squashberry, is most likely found in areas that are moist and shady. A shrub and a member of the Adoxaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 04 (also called both Highbush Cranberry or Lowbush, depending on the culture).  Found throughout northern North America, its berries were used by Indigenous Peoples both eaten raw (seeds removed) or stored for the winter (they would steam the green berries and dry).  Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; unlikely to be extinct soon as it is found in other areas of North America.
