BEAVER POND COTTON - Cotton grass (Eriophorum), despite its name is not related to cotton, but is a type of sedge with various historic uses. The fluffy seed heads have been used for stuffing pillows and making candle wicks. The leaves and stems have been used in weaving and in some cultures, the stems and roots have been eaten or used medicinally. It blooms along the edge of the beaver pond in late summer.
