In summer plants and trees are healthy and strong, and Sophie goes to collect the three ingredients needed for her cancer medicine ...

... the main ingredient, bark from the red mountain-alder ...

... then choke-cherry and wild raspberry branches.

   Sophie uses the flowers of white yarrow as a repellent for mosquitoes and flies.

   She collects pitch from a jack-pine. She will later melt it down with grease and use it as a healing ointment for cuts and sores.
