A Scrub Brush is a type of plant that can be harvested for useful materials.

Scrub brushes are used for harvesting Sticks. Two harvestable types of brush exist in the game. The first (pictured above), yields seven sticks per bush, and the second can yield a dozen. The first type be harvested by hand or with a Hatchet, while the latter requires a Hatchet and may act as a barrier until broken down.

Another type of harvestable Scrub Brush acts as a physical obstacle and requires a Hatchet to break down. Beware that some direct paths will be impassable without a hatchet to remove obstructing brush. Harvesting one patch of this type of Scrub Brush will generate 12 sticks after spending 18 minutes using a Hatchet.

Hushed River Valley, Bleak Inlet, Blackrock, and Ash Canyon contain these types of Brush patches.
