At the Park to Gather Bark

Seven Bends State Park

Shenandoah River in Black and White

Skywatch: Today I helped gather bark for a Halloween event that will take place at the park. We picked it up at the play space where volunteers had removed it from logs that will be used as natural play equipment. 

It was a pretty day and turned quite warm by noon.

  8. Such pretty scenery. Could use some warmth here. Gathering bark would be a first for me, although I did use a froe on a tree once. Hard work. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  11. Greetings and Salutations! Gathering up bark isn't something I have ever done. Twigs, yes. Tree branches, yes. Let us know what they are going to do with the bark please. Ojibwa Nation makes wastebaskets and napkin holders and all sorts of item out of Birch Bark. I have taken home pieces of Birch Bark to take photographs of because it curls and gets into all kinds of shapes like leaves.
