Maple Sugar Tapping Walk
Thursday, February 27 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm
Fort Hunter Park $2 per participant
Join a Naturalist for an afternoon walk around the grounds of Fort Hunter Mansion. The lane leading up to the Mansion is lined with sugar maple trees. Sugar maples are tapped in the winter when the nights are below freezing, and the days are above freezing. Take a step back in history to learn some dated methods used for tapping sugar maple trees. Meet in front of Fort Hunter Mansion and dress for the weather. This program is part of the Park Rx series of programs sponsored by Highmark Blue Shield. Pre-registration is required.
