Maple syrup. Yum! Have you ever wondered how this delectable treat makes its way from the tree onto your pancakes? Join FBRP and Naturalist, Keara Giannotti, Executive Director of Camp Creek Run and FBRP Trustee Emeritus, for a demonstration of maple syrup tapping and learn about tree physiology and sap flow, winter tree identification, and maple tapping basics. We will be tapping some of our native red maple trees, and installing tubing to enable sap collection.Want to take the experience a step further? Registered participants have the option of signing up to collect the sap for syrup production (and consumption!) in their own homes.
