Schools are encouraged to visit Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays starting February 28th-April 28th, during Extension’s annual March Maple Madness when the sugarhouse is in full swing! Programs and field trips are tailored to all age groups from pre-kindergarten to college age adults. Students will gain an understanding of tree physiology, the science behind sap flow, and the history and economic impact of the maple industry. Cost of school tours is $3.00 per student. Chaperons are free.
Weekend tours are also available upon requests. Interested people should call the Extension Office to set tour times and dates. Cost of weekend tours is $5.00 per person.
Participants should come dressed to explore Extension’s extensive sugar bush, followed by time spent in the sugarhouse. No visit is complete without sampling pure maple syrup poured over cold ice cream!
