Beresta (Birch Bark) is the bark of several birch trees of the genus Betula. Beresta was a valuable material in Russia where birch trees were available. Bags, baskets, boxes, containers for food and drinks, toys, bijouterie and even footwear (Lapti) were made from Beresta. The strong and water-resistant cardboard-like bark can be easily cut, bent, and sewn, which has made it a valuable building, crafting, and writing material, since pre-historic times. Birch bark also contains chemical substances (such as betulin) wich have fungicidal properties that help preserve food in birch bark containers. Today, birch bark remains a popular type of wood for various handicrafts and arts.
