Maple Sugaring in Your Own Backyard

Course Overview

When the days become longer and winter starts to fade, the sugar maple provides a bounty of sweetness for months of enjoyment. Discover the joy of wildcrafting your own maple syrup and learn a lifetime skill of harvesting and producing maple syrup. Bring your own snowshoes for this course, as students will venture out into a productive maple stand and explore readily available techniques and equipment for locating and selecting trees to tap, gathering sap, and the process for boiling it into delicious syrup for you and your family. Students will gain hands-on experience in gathering, processing, finishing and preserving. In addition, students will take home samples at the end of the day.
