Maple Sugaring Days
March 4, 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm
It’s maple sugaring time! Come to Creek Bend Nature Center to explore the art, science, and folklore of the “sugar bush,” or maple grove. You’ll learn how to identify and tap a maple tree, and you can try your hand at drilling and setting a tap. We’ll simmer sap over an open fire and watch as it thickens to syrup. Relax with a mug of steaming hot cocoa, a donut or a cookie in the Maple Cafe. After a day of fun, purchase some of your own locally-sourced maple syrup to take home, while supplies last. (Cash or check only, please.)
