Ever wanted to learn more about the maple tree? How to tap trees for sap?

Following the Maple moon, we are excited to take students on a Sugar Bush Tour to learn more. There will be transportation from each campus to White Meadows Farm, where we will have an expert to guide us through the forests on an interactive 45 minute tour to learn more about the great Maple Tree!

After the tour, we will have campfire lunch where we will be joined by Dave Labbe, who will chat with us about traditional maple teachings.

Transportation will leave campuses on Saturday March 18th @ 11:40 am arriving at the Farm to make our 12:20 pm spot!

This event will take around 3 hours and transportation will be provided back to each campus around 3:20 pm. 

Students who wish to attend will need to register. It’s first come, first served – spots are limited so don’t wait!
