Maple Syrup DaySaturday, March 15
10 am - 4 pm
FREE/members & all children
$7/non-member adult
The woods and sugarhouse come to life in March as we make maple syrup at Chippewa Nature Center. Celebrate the ‘syruping season’ at CNC’s annual Maple Syrup Day festival with activities for all ages!
Take a wagon ride to the Sugarhouse to see how we boil sap into pure maple syrup. You’ll also find an 1870s sap boiling demonstration and learn how to make syrup at home in small batches. Enjoy a guided tour of the sugarbush, practice tapping a tree or discover some sugarbush treasure with a scavenger hunt in the woods. Completed scavenger hunts will be entered into a prize drawing.
Near the schoolhouse, check out maple syrup story time or the maple puppet play. Head over to the Homestead area for maple games, crafts, woodstove cooking, and a taste of “sugar on snow” as we make maple syrup taffy.
In the Visitor Center, enjoy a delicious pancake meal with REAL maple syrup. Pancake meal tickets are sold separately and advanced purchase online is recommended. Day-of meal tickets are dependent on availability. We’ll also be making free tasting samples of maple cotton and hot drinks will be available from a food truck. You can also stop by CNC’s gift store for maple treats and other nature-based items for purchase.
