Maple Sugaring Sweetens Up the Winter

 

Maple syrup is winter’s sugary treasure and it’s not just found in Vermont. The sap is flowing at The Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center in Chatham and now you can experience all the sweet sights and smells at one of the Maple Sugaring Demos held on select Saturdays and Sundays in January, February, and March at 2 p.m. Discover the process by identifying and tapping maple trees, collecting sap, and making syrup over a wood-fired evaporator. The cost is $3 per person.

The peak of the sugaring season will be celebrated with the annual Maple Sugaring Festival on Sunday, March 3, from 12 Noon to 4 p.m. Watch smoke billow from the evaporator and become entranced by the sweet smell of maple sugar. Experience maple cream making first hand and taste final product. Bring your friends and family and take a fascinating guided “Hike Through Maple Sugaring History.” Maybe even purchase a spile so you can make your own syrup at home, or buy it fresh on site from a maple sugar farmer. Delicious food will be available for purchase.

There’s a wide variety of games and crafts for all ages to enjoy, so come out to the Maple Sugaring Demos and Festival from January through March. Admission for the hour-long Maple Sugar Demos cost $3 per person, while the Maple Sugar Festival costs $4 per person.
