Second Saturdays with Merck: Birch Bark Decorations

Birch bark makes a great campfire starter because it’s easy to find, light to carry, and burns even when wet. But what else can we use birch bark for? Meet up around the campfire with Merck Forest & Farmland Center field educators to craft some birch bark decorations to brighten up your holiday season!

Merck Forest & Farmland Center holds Second Saturday programs each month at the Library, teaching environmental science and outdoor survival skills, and facilitating exciting nature-based activities for kids ages 6 and up.

Note: Per the Library’s Patron Conduct Policy, parents or guardians are responsible for the welfare and behavior of their minor children (under 18) in the Library or on Library grounds. Minors under 12 must be accompanied and supervised by a parent, guardian, or other responsible adult unless participating in a Library program. Minors aged 12 to 17 are permitted to use the Library unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. The Manchester Community Library assumes no responsibility for unattended minors in all circumstances.
