Get In The Maple Mood
Naturalist-led experiences are available at Swine Creek Reservation and online. Registration is required.
Rather than a large gathering for Sap’s-a-Risin’ this year, the park district has scheduled three half-hour Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides Through the Sugarbush to take place on Saturdays, March 6, 13 and 20, from 1-4:30 p.m.
Hour-long Maple Sugaring Hikes will also be hosted on Sundays, March 7, 14 and 21, followed by optional sales of syrup produced this year at Swine Creek Reservation. Sales will also be available this season at The West Woods Nature Center.
Both the rides and the hikes will show participants all about the maple sugaring processes used each year at this park at 16004 Hayes Road in Middlefield Township.
Three virtual programs will also be offered to get people into the spirit of the sweet season right from the comfort of home: Maple Sugaring on March 7 at 10 a.m. for adults or 1 p.m. for kids; and All About Maple Syrup on March 10 at 6 p.m.
