A Native Tradition
Cheryl's friend Nancy, a fellow Master Gardener, came by to show us how the Native Americans harvest the bark from Western Red Cedar trees to weave baskets, hats, purses, etc. It was harder than it should have been because it was too early in the season. Traditionally this process is done in the Spring so the sap is running and the bark peels off more easily.

Striping the bark was harder then I thought. The hardest part was trying to get past the outer bark!
