Maple Sugaring

No registration required (All ages) Missouri has a rich history of using its resources wisely, and making sweet syrup is a tasty example of forest conservation. As winter loses its grip on the land, the trees begin to awaken. Sap from deep in the roots starts to make its way to the treetops. February is prime time for tapping Maple trees to collect the sweet bounty within. We will demonstrate how to choose the right tree, how to collect the raw sap, and the equipment required to boil sap down to maple syrup or sugar. Join us "on the hour" from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and start your own maple sugaring tradition.
