Nature Buds: Sugarbush

Nature Buds is back! Come explore the wonders of nature in this series specifically designed for toddlers and preschoolers! We will explore different themes each session with a Blandford Educator leading the group. This month we are learning about the origins of maple syrup! We’ll take a walk through Blandford’s forest, also known as a sugarbush, talk about sap and how to cook it, and we’ll end at the Sugarhouse where participants will get a sample of Blandford’s very own maple syrup!
