Weekend opportunities to learn about the maple sugaring process at Swine Creek Reservation abound this March – but space is filling fast, so get online or call to register today!
Rather than a large gathering for Sap’s-a-Risin’ this year, Geauga Park District has scheduled three half-hour Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides Through the Sugarbush to take place on Saturday, March 6, 13 and 20, from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
Hour-long Maple Sugaring Hikes will also be hosted on Sundays, March 7, 14 and 21, followed by optional sales of syrup produced this year at Swine Creek Reservation. Sales will also be available this season at The West Woods Nature Center.
Both the rides and the hikes will show participants all about the maple sugaring processes used each year at this park at 16004 Hayes Road in Middlefield. All are great ways to get outdoors, learn a little something and celebrate this age-old Geauga County tradition!
Or, if you’d rather enjoy your maple fun at a distance, three virtual programs can help get you into the spirit of this sweet season right from the comfort of your own home: Maple Sugaring on Monday, March 7, at 10 a.m. for adults or 1 p.m. for kids; and All About Maple Syrup on Wednesday, March 10, at 6 p.m.
Registration is required for all the above at www.geaugaparkdistrict.org or 440-286-9516.
