Maple Sugaring
Join Pat Heaney, Assistant Director of Education, and discover the history, folklore and science of maple sugaring. During this hour-long, outdoor program you will visit our maple trees, find out how we tap them using drills and spiles, and try a sample of sweet maple sugar. Learn about the evaporation process and how sticky sap transforms into sweet maple syrup. The operation of our outdoor evaporators is dependent on the amount of sap the trees produce and the weather. They may not be running during all program sessions. Dress for sitting outdoors and wear your boots!
Ages 5 and up. In-person program. Dress for the weather of the day. Masks, social distancing, and adult attendance required. Discount available for members.
