Ever wonder what all the buckets and hoses are on the trees this time of year? When the days are warm but nights are cool, sap begins to flow in New Hampshire’s maple trees, and the maple-sugaring season gets underway. It’s the first sign of Spring!!

-Learn about the magical process and deep-rooted history of maple sugaring

-Learn how to ID a Sugar Maple Tree and get the chance to tap one using a hand drill, spile, and buckets

-Experience all that it takes to boil down the sap using a woodfired evaporator to get the beautiful golden syrup that we all covet.

-PLUS Maple Sugar tastings, popcorn, and traditional games will round out the fun!

This event is station-based, families will move to different areas on campus to learn and explore together. All stations will be led by BBA educators and or knowledgeable volunteers. Activities should last approx. 2 hours.
