Get outside for some quality family time by adopting a tree for maple syrup season. This season-long program begins with Adopt a Tree Kickoff Event on February 3rd where syrup families/groups come for one time block to learn the process and take part in choosing and tapping a tree for the season (takes approx. 30 minutes).

 

After the Kickoff Event, participants will then collect sap 1-3 times a week (depending on sap flow conditions) for the entire syrup season (typically 4-6 weeks) and take part in boil downs where REAL maple syrup is made right at NCNC. You’ll even get your very own bottle of NCNC-made maple syrup at our end of season celebration in March (date TBD).

Join us for one of four tree tapping times on February 3rd:

9:30am, 11am, 12:30pm, or 2pm

Pre-registration is required and opens January 8th:
