It's Maple Time!

Join our knowledgeable guides to discover how maple syrup is made, from tree tapping to boiling, and the best part- taste tests!

When you think of the sounds of spring, what comes to mind? The dawn chorus of birds, the rush of melting snow, the hum of newly awakened insects. If you listen closely, you may also hear a gentle tap-tap-tap of water drops falling into buckets - the sound of maple trees awakening and generously sharing their flowing sap.

Join us at Willow Park Ecology Centre as we celebrate all-things-maple. Follow our knowledgeable guides to discover how maple syrup is made, from tree tapping to boiling, and learn what it takes to transform sap into that delicious, ooey-gooey goodness we all love.
