Maple Sugaring: From Sap to Syrup

February 26, 2012, 2:00-4:00pm

Location: Rogers Fort Hill Park

Can you tell the real stuff from the imitation brands?

Maple sugaring is an age-old tradition, unique to northeastern North America, New England in particular. Come on out and test your senses and learn about what it takes to tap a sugar maple and create a tasty delight.

Learn how to identify a sugar maple tree, how to tap it for its sap, and how to turn the sap into syrup. This is a fun activity for the whole family. Meet at the granite pillars on Park Avenue, middle of the lower park. Wear warm clothes and boots (we'll meet rain, snow or shine).

This program is offered in partnership with Mass Audubon Society-Drumlin Farm and The Friends of Rogers Fort Hill Park.

Space is limited, so please RSVP soon via gwen@lowelllandtrust.org or by phone at (978)934-0030 X3.
