Sap to Syrup: The Birch Way

Tanana Middle School science students are hosting a community event on Earth Day, April 22, to demonstrate the science of one of Alaska’s purest natural resources, birch sap.  Working in conjunction with the UAF OneTree Alaska program, the students will show how to tap sap from a birch tree, explain sap processing, give taste tests, manufacture knitting needles and show off the new OneTree reverse osmosis unit.

The event will occur at the UAF University Park Building, 1000 University Ave., Room 102, Tuesday, April 22 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Parking is available on campus by permit; a parking kiosk is located at the building.
