Program Description

Event Details

What a thrill to take the clear liquid sap from a sugar maple tree, as clear as clean water, and turn it into the amber sweet syrup that we all enjoy. The magic begins in the late winter/early spring as daytime temperatures rise above freezing and nighttime temperatures stay below the freezing mark. Learn the history of “sugaring” from the Native American ways to our modern processes. Understand how to identify a sugar maple tree with its leaves on or without them. Plus, enjoy a taste of maple syrup on vanilla ice cream!

Join Don Snoeyink of Thornapple Woodlands as we celebrate Maple Syrup Month in Michigan!

Please register all adults and children attending.
