people have been living in Waponahkik since time immemorial, and their relationship with brown ash trees is just as long. According to one Wabanaki creation story, Gluskabe fired an arrow into a brown ash tree, and women and children emerged from its bark singing and dancing (<a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/hudsonmuseum\/the-wabanaki-vocabulary\/#:~:text=In%20Wabanaki%20creation%20myths%2C%20Gluskabe,producing%20splints%20to%20make%20baskets.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hudson Museum<\/a>). Ash is therefore woven into the cultural identity of Wabanaki people. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown ash is used as a primary material in Wabanaki basketry, which is currently practiced by about 200 Wabanaki artisans in Maine alone (<a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/nativeamericanprograms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/320\/2017\/07\/Neuman-Basketry-of-the-Wabanaki-Indians.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neptune and Neuman 2015<\/a>). The growth rings of brown ash trees have unique structural qualities that make them suitable for pounding, splitting, and weaving. Some basketmakers also use green ash for making splints and white ash for making handles. Wabanaki people pass on intergenerational knowledge of ash trees which informs how they select trees for basket making (Greenlaw, 2023; Frey et al., 2019). Among brown ash populations, not all are basket quality: only 5-20% of brown ash trees are selected for harvest (<a

2008<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id787_627e6b-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id787_627e6b-11 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

class=\"has-text-align-left\">If you are a landowner or land steward with a known brown or green ash stand on your property of 3 or more trees, and you would like to offer them to a Wabanaki basketmaker for harvest, please send us pictures of the trees to apcaw-group@maine.edu and fill out the form below and APCAW will share your information with our network of basketmakers. We ask for the submission of photos because not all brown ash is basket quality ash, and Wabanaki harvesters look for very specific characteristics of harvestable ash. Sharing photos allows harvesters to review tree quality before visiting the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>To report a stand of brown or green ash you\u2019d like to share with Wabanaki ash harvesters, please fill out&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/forms.gle\/b4QuqC9jiNpbnwjG8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this form<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in formalizing Wabanaki access on your property, there are a number of tools that already exist that protect Indigenous relationships to plant relatives and their ability to harvest culturally significant species. Existing tools should be adapted for the unique ecologies and significance of each location, as each is imperfect and comes with strengths and limitations. To learn we recommend reviewing First Light&#8217;s collection of resources on <a
