Birch Dinner hosted by OneTree Alaska and Sustainability

The UAF Office of Sustainability and OneTree Alaska will host a birch-themed dinner experience in The Pub on Tuesday, April 30 at 5 p.m.

The menu will explore the versatility of birch syrup and features: birch-onion confit over toasts, salad with a birch-balsamic dressing, salmon with a birch glaze, and birch butter tarts for dessert. All of the birch syrup integrated into the meal is produced on the UAF Troth Yeddha' campus in the OneTree STEAM Studio. Tickets will also include two glasses of mead produced with local ingredients from Fairbanks' own Beard Brothers Meadery. Birch Dinner tickets can be purchased online for $38.

The birch-themed dinner is a collaboration between the Office of Sustainability and OneTree Alaska. The Office of Sustainability offers sustainability-them events throughout the year and houses student-run sustainability programs including the Wood Center Food Pantry, the Nanook Grown Program, the UAF FreeStore, the Upcycle Annex, Green Bikes, and the UAF Recycling Program. OneTree Alaska is a STEAM (STEM + Arts) program affiliated with the Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station of the University of Alaska Fairbanks; in addition to numerous educational programs for all ages they founded the Fairbanks Birch Syrup Cooperative.
