Part of our ~Community Maple Sugaring 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
