Maple sugaring is a truly North American tradition and a long-time family favorite activity at Montour Preserve.
Join the Montour Area Recreation Commission’s staff and volunteers for presentations on the natural and cultural history of maple sugaring. We’ll follow the sugaring process from sap to syrup in this interesting family experience.
Presentations of the movie ‘The Maple Sugar Farmer’ will begin in the Environmental Education Center auditorium at the top of each hour between 9:00am and 2:00pm.
Programming at the Montour Preserve’s sugar shack will be begin at thirty minute intervals, beginning at 9am and every one-half hour thereafter. Visitors are welcome to arrive and depart at any time between 9am – 3:30pm. Visitors will be directed to the sugar shack along the Goose Woods Trail where they will learn about the cultural and natural history of maple sugaring and have the opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of maple sugaring.
Maple products will be available for sale from the Roloson Brothers inside the Environmental Education Center.
Please note: only service dogs are allowed at the Montour Preserve. Please leave all pets at home.
