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. Participants will learn how the local American Indians discovered the sugaring process and how they shared this treat with the settlers. Then, we’ll hike out to the Sugarbush where we’ll guide your group in the proper tapping of a maple tree. After you have tapped a tree, check out our evaporator to see how the maple sap is boiled down into syrup. Of course, no one leaves without a taste of pure maple syrup!
