All ages. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Join the Naturalist to learn the process of tapping Maple trees to collect sap that can be boiled into delicious syrup. Hike to the Kings Landing 'sugar bush' to help the naturalist tap the maple trees in preparation for syrup season, and get a first-hand opportunity to learn this simple skill. After we visit our trees, warm up by an outdoor campfire and roast a marshmallow.  Program will be outside, so dress for the weather.
