Wise Nature Center-two sessions

Join us for the first tapping of the season!  We will kick off the maple syrup season with the Reserve’s annual Adopt-a-Bucket program. Families, scout troops, and youth groups are welcome to decorate a bucket with their favorite design to be hung in the Reserve’s sugar bush. Decorators will have their picture taken with their bucket(s) before heading to the sugar bush to meet the sapmeister. In the sugar bush you will assist in tapping a maple tree and hang your bucket to catch sap. Upon returning to the Nature Center you will receive sweet reward of Mother Nature, a maple syrup sundae, plus an eight-ounce bottle of maple syrup to take home. Don’t miss out this fun and educational opportunity.
