Maple Sugaring

March is Maple Sugaring month! With spring not too far off, the warm days and freezing nights encourage sap flow in maple trees. This is the ideal time to collect the sugary sap and boil it down into maple syrup. Learn how the local American Indians discovered the sugaring process and how they shared this treat with the settlers. Then, hike out to the sugarbush and see how to tap a maple tree and check out the evaporator to see how the maple sap is boiled down into syrup. Of course, no one leaves without a taste of pure maple syrup!  Fee: $3 per person Preregistration required. The 11 am session on Saturdays will give advanced tips and techniques for tapping trees for people interested in tapping their own trees, with sap collection starter kits available to purchase at $12 each.
