Collecting the sap is a crucial step of the maple sugaring process! Many methods are used on commercial farms, but the basic idea is the same, moving the sap from the maple trees to the stove. Come participate in the process at Echo Hill! We will meet at the playground and then take the five to ten-minute walk to the sugar bush to help us collect our sap for sugaring. This program will also be available to groups during weekdays in February. Please call to schedule a group program.
