The sap from sugar maples was first used to produce sugar by the indigenous people of North America, and a Flemington activity will offer an in-person sneak peek into how this process is undertaken in modern times.
Echo Hill Park will be welcoming a visit by the attendees in a Maple Tree Tapping Session. On offer in early February when the sap starts running, it is for those age six and up. Children will need to be accompanied by an adult.
The facilitator for the activity will lead the group to the venue's sugar bush, and so they can see how sap is collected, and they will have the chance to lend a hand. Tickets are $8 each, and the outing will be led by a Recreation Program Coordinator and a Park Naturalist. There are two dates scheduled, and schools and not-for-profit organizations are welcome to contact the organizers to arrange a visit by calling 908-782-1158.
A nature-based workshop offers the chance for the public to learn more about the world around them. A brochure printing company can prepare learning materials for an activity, and these can include full color photos.
The dates for the maple sap collection at Echo Hill Park are set as February 9 and 23, both of which are Sundays. Both dates run from 1:00 pm until 2:30 pm.
