A Sweet Stroll Through Maple History

Discover how sap taken from a maple tree becomes syrup on the breakfast table on Sunday, March 8, 2026. Choose one of four available time slots to participate in this program, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM, 1:00 PM, or 2:00 PM. This free program is open to the public and registration is required by Friday, March 6th.

The program will begin with an introduction that will unravel the mystery of how trees function. Then enjoy a guided walk, which will take you through the history of maple sugaring. See a working evaporator and get a taste of spring itself, real maple syrup.

The Nature Shop at Jennings, run by friends group 3MJC, will offer a variety of local maple products. What a great way to celebrate the end of winter!
