School desks and church furniture, also, are made of birch.

The orange-colored inner bark of the birch tree is so fine and delicate that the early settlers could use it as they would paper.

No matter whether birch wood is green or dry, it will burn readily.

The birch was the most useful tree of the forest to the Indians.

Its bark was used not only for making their canoes, but also for building their wigwams.
