Sat 10:00 - 10:50 AM, What the Trees Give: Birch, Fairy Tent (4)
Moderator: James Hayes; Panelists: Rebekah LeibMany are the trees within the Dark Forest and many their gifts. We'll explore the many uses of one tree in this workshop, the Birch. Edible, medicinal and practical gifts come from this tree. One of the things we'll be doing is making a primitive lantern using fuel that comes from this tree, and carved from something that commonly grows on this tree. Can you guess what it is? Come by and find out!
