Put your body to work learning how to pound black ash logs into splints for future generations of basket makers!
Guided by Abenaki educators Kerry Wood and Aaron Wood, we'll work together to process logs harvested in Lamoille County into splints for weaving. While live black ash trees are extremely susceptible to infestation from the introduced insect the emerald ash borer, properly stored splints can be saved for over 100 years. Many hands make light work, and your help is needed.
Attend for any part of the day and bring work gloves and lunch. Free and open to all.
9am - 3pm. Opening circle and presentation at 9am, recap of presentation at 1pm.
Registration is appreciated but not required.
