Description

Instructors: Debra Reed, Senior Park Naturalist, and Patrick Eckard, Recreation Program Coordinator

Have you wondered how we tap the trees to collect maple sap, or where the Echo Hill sugar bush is? Well, here’s your chance to find out! We will meet at the playground and take the five to ten-minute walk to the sugar bush. You will learn how to identify a sugar maple and see a demonstration on how to tap a maple tree. Participants will collectively tap about 25 trees.
