Discover how sap taken from a maple tree becomes syrup on the breakfast table.

This annual, free program is open to the public. Registration is not required, but come on time to get a seat for this very popular program.

It all begins with an indoor presentation that unravels the mystery of how a tree functions, and considers the many benefits derived from these magnificent, perennial giants. The presentation is followed by a guided, outdoor walk, which will take you through the history of maple sugaring.   See a working evaporator and get a taste of spring itself, real maple syrup. Our very own nature shop will be stocked with a variety of local maple products. What a great way to celebrate the end of winter!

This is a wonderful opportunity to explore the art, science and history of our nation’s oldest industry. It is a striking demonstration of how getting breakfast was not always as easy as going to the grocery store.
