Celebrate the spring with 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 to 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.
