Maple Tapping with the Woonasquatucket River Watershed Council

Maple Tapping - February 22 (rain date Feb 28) - 12pm – 2pm

Come hear the first drops of sap plink into the bucket! At a time of year when plants appear asleep, come learn about all the life happening below the surface. We’ll learn how to tap a tree to collect sap, discuss what we know (and don’t) about how maple syrup works, and reflect on what this tradition has meant to different peoples— and what we want it to mean to us.

Part of our ~Maple Tapping on the Woonasquatucket Series~

You are invited to join us in shaping a new tradition on the Woonasquatucket River: maple syrup making! This practice, first developed and still practiced by the Indigenous peoples of this region, offers us an opportunity to connect with the gifts that trees offer, and act on our responsibility to care for them in return. This is a three-part series; feel free to join for as many as you’d like 

• Maple Tapping, February 22 [12pm-2pm]
• Forest Care Day, March 7 [11am-1pm]
• Maple Sap Boil Day, March 21 [6am-3pm]
