Heard of barking up the wrong tree? Well, the purpose of this class is debarking the tree right. Each day will be spent learning the proper harvest technique for the quintessential northern tree-- the paper birch. The course starts with a few hours indoors, but will primarily be spent in the woods getting to know tree bark and gaining harvesting experience. The ethics of bark harvest and how to acquire the proper permits for harvesting from public and private land will also be discussed.
