Cancelled due to warm weather
Warm days and cold nights are the perfect recipe to get the sap flowing in sugar maples across the northeast. Join us at a local sugar bush to learn about the modern and traditional techniques of tapping trees, collecting sap, and boiling the sap down to syrup. Local maple experts will explain the present day gravity fed collection system, and if the conditions are right, fire up the evaporating pan to start the sap boiling. You may even have the chance to taste the sweet syrup as it comes out of the pan.
