Mosquito Hill Nature Center – Willow Suet Birdfeeder

Create a willow suet birdfeeder! Learn weaving techniques, tips, tricks and the best places to gather willow. Create your own rustic, suet bird feeder in this class taught by Faith Schlaeppi, an accomplished basket maker from New London. Locally collected willow will be used to create an attractive and functional birdfeeder. Start by splitting and stripping branches. The remainder of the day will be spent weaving and putting on finishing touches.

Bring: pruners, shears (kitchen scissors work well), an awl or flat screwdriver.
