Maple Sugaring at The Watershed

Saturday February 7, 2026
10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Multiple times: 10 – 11:30 a.m. | 12:30 – 2 p.m. | 2:30 – 4 p.m.

Info: Join Watershed Education staff to discover the history, folklore and science of maple sugaring. Visit our maple trees, find out how we tap them using drills and spiles, and try a sample of sweet maple sugar. Learn about the evaporation process and how sticky sap transforms into sweet maple syrup. The operation of our outdoor evaporator is dependent on the amount of sap the trees produce and the weather. It may not be running during all program sessions. Dress for both indoors and outdoors and wear your boots!

Patches are available for purchase in the gift shop on the day of the program.

Ages 5 and up. Adult attendance required. Discount available for members. Contact Anna for help registering large groups.
