Birch bark or birchbark is generally understood to be the bark of the Paper Birch tree (Betula papyrifera), or sometimes of related species such as Gray (Wire) Birch (Betula populifolia).

Surely this can't be true, why would it refer mainly to North American species? Surely the word "birchbark" existed long before the discovery of the New World? Perhaps a native English speaker would care to make appropriate changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.69.74.220 (talk) 16:15, 23 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

No discussion on merge edit

There is a proposed merge template (with Birch on this article, but no discussion. For the record, I oppose the merge. Birch Bark & its uses are distinct enough. Newystats (talk) 11:15, 23 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
