From Woods to Words – The Joy of Papermaking

Many of us take for granted a material on which the wisdom of cultures has been written and shared for generations …paper. This simple age old process of paper making is both fun and educational. Students learn how paper is made from crushed cellulose wood fibers called pulp. By shredding used paper and adding plant material, students create beautiful, handmade paper that they can use for letters, cards or journals.

Please note: Program requires a minimum of 1 adult for every 4-5 students. Teacher must be prepared to supervise pre prepared outdoor activities (provided by Environment Centre Staff) while groups rotate through papermaking.
