IT’S ALMOST SYRUP SEASON! See What’s “On Tap” at the New Canaan Nature Center!
Adopt-A-Tree & Maple Syrup Making Program Collect your own sap every week! Season starts Saturday, February 9 10:00 A.M., 11:30 A.M. & 1:00 P.M.
Families, groups or individuals are invited to adopt one of the Nature Center’s maple trees for the tapping season. Learn about and actively participate in the maple syrup making process by tapping a tree, collecting the sap and finally enjoying the finished product.
Participants will attend a kick-off event on Saturday, February 9 at 10:00 A.M., 11:30 A.M. & 1:00 P.M.to select your tree and learn how the syruping process works! Families/groups then return 1-3 times a week (on your own schedule) to collect sap, observe how conditions affect production and take part in evening boil downs as we make real maple syrup in our Sugar Shack!
The program concludes with Syrup Saturday Celebration & Pancake Brunch where each family will receive a bottle of maple syrup produced from New Canaan Nature Center trees.
Pre-registration is required. Please call 203–966–9577 x10

Gather ‘Round For A Boil Down! This year we’ll be hosting boil downs throughout the season where our naturalists will complete the process of transforming sap into rich maple syrup! This is a wonderful reason to get outdoors in winter and informally gather at the sugar shack to see the process up close. Weather conditions will impact dates/times, so look out for email alerts and Facebook updates regarding when these will take place.
