Families are invited to learn how to identify a sugar maple tree, discover the steps for turning sap into syrup, and visit a tapped sugar maple tree in the Van Vleck Gardens.

Please note: Tour will last approximately 1 hour, plus additional time for self-guided exploration (optional). Dress for the weather – stations will be indoors and outdoors. Rain date March 11th.
