The Aldo Leopold Nature Center invites the public to celebrate spring at MAPLE
SYRUP FEST -- a family-style festival at the Aldo Leopold Nature Center.
This year's Maple Syrup Fest will feature ten stations set throughout the
Nature Center grounds that will lead visitors, at their own pace, through the
history of maple syruping and related craft and activities. Naturalists will
tap the maple trees on the Nature Center grounds and collect sap in buckets to
make the syrup. See the sap boil over a roaring fire as it concentrates into
"liquid gold". When the sap is boiled, the sap's naturally occurring
water evaporates as steam, leaving the sap and its sweetness to concentrate
into maple syrup.
