It’s the sweetest time of the year – maple sugar time! Visit the sugar bush at pavilion 11 in Lancaster County Central Park for interactive demonstrations of the syrup making process. Drop-in any time during this free event as Park Naturalists share the history of production, tap sugar maple trees, boil sap in the sugar shack, finish the syrup and make candy. Participants are encouraged to complete this one-of-a-kind experience with a taste of freshly made maple sugar candy. Patterson Farms will be onsite selling syrup and many other maple products. Groups are encouraged to schedule a private program for a small fee. No registration necessary. FREE – Donations are appreciated and allow us to continue to provide high-quality environmental education programing.
