‘Tis the season for maple sugaring! Before you can enjoy sweet maple syrup, you’ve got to collect the sap. Learn how to identify sugar maple trees and select the right ones to tap. Then, go outside to try your hand at tapping the trees. This program covers only the tree tapping portion. Join us Saturday, February 5 for our Maple Sugaring event to learn the rest of the syrup story. Please dress for the weather. If you are participating in Cape Nature Center’s “A Year in Color” this program earns a green plant bead.
