Maple Sugaring Demos
Ready to experience maple sugaring season at Great Swamp Outdoor Education Center with maple sugaring demos? Weekend demonstrations run from Saturday, January 24, through Sunday, February 22, with sessions held at 1:00 PM and 2:30 PM. These outdoor programs are perfect for adults and children ages 6 and up and cover:
- The history of maple sugaring in North America
- How to identify and tap maple trees
- Sap collection using traditional buckets
- Live wood-burning evaporation demonstrations
- A maple syrup taste test
If conditions are right, educators may even tap a live tree during the demo. Programs are held rain or shine, so dress for the weather.
Maple syrup from the Chester Maple Shop will be available for cash purchase only, while supplies last.
