Participants will visit multiple demonstration stations set up along a nature trail to learn about the process of converting maple sap into syrup. The demonstrations will include both historical and modern methods of making syrup.
“Maple sugaring is a great outdoor activity for families to enjoy in March, when the temperatures start to rise and the sap starts flowing,” said park interpreter Theresa Neal. “Visitors in the past have been amazed to learn that the trees in your own back yard can produce this seasonal treat.”
The sugar bush demonstrations will feature hands-on activities, and maple syrup experts will be on site to answer questions and provide advice about at-home maple sugaring.
For more information about Maple Sugaring Days, contact Theresa Neal at 906-492-3415 or go online to www.michigan.gov/tfallseducation.
