Adirondack Lean-To Work Day 1

Bee Keeping

May 1st               

10AM to 12AM

 Learn about the only creature on earth that leaves the world a better place just by being here.  Learn about the life of a bee, their social structure, our dependence on bees, what dangers they face, how to provide them shelter, how they create nature’s gold and finally learn that 80% percent of America’s honey comes from China.  Now that’s scary.  Its time we look backward to our roots of self sufficiency and learn from our ancestors and nature to find balance in how we humans borrow the use of mother earth.  Bees do no harm, create the only way for many plants to reproduce and in the process create a bounty of sweet golden liquid delight.  We humans can only aspire to live like bees.
Cost: $10

Basket Making 

May 1st               

1PM to 4PM

 Here is a chance to make your own pack basket.  Styled after the famous Adirondack type basket, we will work through the day to create a rattan basket that works great for camping, canoeing or a trip to the Public Market.  All materials (except the straps ) will be provided.  Please bring a bag lunch. Maximum number of students: 10
Cost: $100 med/$115 large
Pre-registration required.

Adirondack Lean-To Work Day 2
