Fourth Fridays for Families: Maple Sugaring with Pam Newitt (Feb. 23, 2024)
Free
Join volunteer naturalist Pam Newitt to learn all about the original method for making maple syrup, from choosing the trees to boiling the sap. After a short introduction, we will head into the forest to find sugar maple trees (Acer saccharum) and discover how maple syrup is made. A taste of real maple syrup and a take-home craft will wrap up a fun winter adventure. This program is for children ages 3 to 6 with an accompanying adult.
Pam Newitt has a B.S. in wildlife conservation from the University of Maryland, has been a professional interpretive naturalist since 1989 and is a long-time active presence at the Preserve. She loves walking woodland trails, looking up for birds and down at wildflowers.
