The end of winter brings the opportunity to practice the art of maple syrup brewing yet again. And who of us who has read Laura Ingalls Wilder can resist the urge to get out there and tap those trees?
Not I! No, certainly not I!
The Maple Syrup Fest is the perfect opportunity to learn about the art and science of maple tree tapping by Native Americans, pioneers, and modern-day syrup and sugar producers. But learning about maple syrup is just the beginning! The fun doesn't end until you've tapped and tasted real maple tree sap; tested your "nature smarts" with maple syrup trivia; built your knowledge of trees with the "Build-A-Tree" game; toured the rustic Children's Shack; participated in cooking demos with early pioneer settlers; and enjoyed a good, old-fashioned ice-cream sundae topped with pure maple syrup!
Indulge in the delectable festivities at Aldo Leopold Nature Center as we partake of one of nature's sweetest and purest gifts!
