McCloud Maple Syrup Days - At McCloud Nature Park
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sat, 03/11/2023
Our 13th Annual Maple Syrup Days will take place on March 4 and 11, 2023 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day at McCloud Nature Park.
The sugar maple trees at McCloud Nature Park produce a sweet treasure throughout the winter months: sap with a high sugar content. Once the daytime temperatures start rising, the sap starts flowing, and our park staff and volunteers begin collecting it. Pretty soon, we have bottles of 100% all-natural maple syrup!
How do we know which trees to use? How do we collect the sap? Do the sugar maple trees die afterwards? How do we turn that natural sweetness into syrup? How is McCloud Maple Syrup different from the syrup you buy in plastic bottles at the grocery store? How has maple syrup been made in the past?
Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.
If any of these questions have crossed your mind or your kids’ minds, grab your favorite flannel and head on out to McCloud Nature Park in early March to experience the 13th Annual McCloud Maple Syrup Days! Bring the whole family because Maple Syrup Days are FREE to attend! Real maple syrup will be available for purchase 8 am-1 pm both days from Harris Sugar Bush (cash, check, or card)
