Adopt-a-Tree: Maple Syrup Program

Adopt-a-Tree 2024

Kickoff Event: February 3rd, 2024

Don’t get stuck indoors this winter! Get outside for some quality family time by adopting a tree for maple syrup season! This season-long program begins with Adopt a Tree Kickoff where syrup families/groups come for one time block to learn the process and take part in choosing and tapping a tree for the season (takes approx. 30 minutes).

After the Kickoff Event, participants will then collect sap 1-3 times a week (depending on sap flow conditions) for the entire syrup season (typically 4-6 weeks) and take part in boil downs where REAL maple syrup is made right here at NCNC.

You’ll even get your very own bottle of NCNC-made maple syrup at our end of season celebration in March (date TBD).

Help up expand this family-favorite program for years to come!

The Nature Center hopes to plant 10 new Sugar Maple Trees in 2023 so that we can welcome more participating families, make more maple syrup, and enjoy more winter fun.
