Learn how to make your own Tulip Poplar Bark Berry Basket!

In the Appalachian region, Tulip Poplar bark is the most commonly used material to create containers for berries and other wild foraged plants. Each student will learn how to harvest the bark by getting hands-on experience peeling it from the tree. They will learn how to assemble the materials and fashion them into baskets to take home. The class will cover what other tree bark can be used, the best season to harvest the bark, as well as sustainable harvesting practices.
