Sugar Maple Tree to Table Community Days

March 30, 2022 @ 9:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Need family-friendly outdoor activities to do during spring break? Join us at the Welty Environmental Center as we explore the process of making maple syrup. People of all ages and their families are welcome to join in the festivities.
Events will be an hour and a half each day, where children, parents/guardians, and adults will hike Big Hill Park and join in interactive activities to learn more about the ecology and Native American history of maple trees as well as how to make our own maple syrup! Each day will build off each other, so it’s encouraged that you attend all three days, but please come when you are able!

Day 3: Evaporation Technology (3/30/22)
The Native American and European methods of making maple syrup are strikingly different, and we will be able to explore both. Join us for Evaporation Technology as we learn more about other Native American oral traditions and learn firsthand how Native Americans created maple syrup. We will fast forward 200+ years and use more modern technology to do the same process and test real maple syrup.
Registration is required, and masks are required when indoors. Hiking will be low-impact (2-6% slope) throughout the park. These events are free. Donations are accepted and appreciated (we recommend $5 per person per day).
