Eastern White Pine: Wild Edibles, Bark Baskets, and Pine Needle Uses

The Eastern White Pine is a magnificent tree, not only beautiful but filled with many incredible gifts. In this class we will explore its many uses. We will make tea, oils, and even some hard candies from the needles. We'll learn how to harvest pinenuts and inner bark for food and how to prepare it to eat raw, cooked, or dried. Lastly, we'll dive into the many uses of the bark and needles to be collected and processed to be used in functional baskets. No handouts: be prepared to take notes. NO REFUNDS UNLESS THE CLASS IS CANCELLED OR RESCHEDULED.
