The sap will soon be running and it's time to tap the maple trees! Volunteers are needed to help get the Bendix Woods Sugar Bush ready for making maple syrup! Experienced sugar-makers will take you out into the woods and show you how to tap maple trees and hang tubing used to collect sap. This activity is outdoors, so be sure to dress for the weather. *This year, the date will be chosen based on the best-fit weather for the start of the season. *The 'early start' back-up date is Saturday, February 7. Registration required by the prior Thursday.
