Location: Hashawha Environmental Center/Bear Branch

Can’t wait for our Maple Sugarin’ Festival to get your maple fix? Join us for an afternoon of maple sugarin’ a little early! We’ll take a short hike to the maple stand to learn how to tap a tree for collecting sap. Then return to the nature center to learn methods Native Americans, Colonists, and current-day Maple Makers would use to turn sap into syrup. Test your taste buds by seeing if you can tell which syrup sample is the real deal! By the end of the program, you’ll have all the knowledge you need to make syrup of your own! This program is weather-dependent.
