Thinking About Maple Sugaring? We are too!
Traveling through New England this time of the year you will start to notice the first signs of spring. No, it’s not blooming crocuses or the return of the robin. It’s the sound of maple sap dripping into sap buckets and the sweet smell of the steam rising from the sugarhouse. You can make maple syrup too! Read this fact sheet by Steve Roberge, Cheshire County Forester. Interested in learning more about how maple is produced? Visit our maple web page.
