Discover the surprising variety of trees that can be tapped!
Those acquainted with maple syruping may be surprised to know that there's more to syruping than maples! Join Tenafly Nature Center educators to explore how sap becomes syrup and which local trees can be tapped for their own unique flavors. Families will head outdoors to identify tree species, learn how sap flows, and practice using real tapping tools. We’ll look at maple as our familiar starting point and then explore several other trees that can be tapped, comparing how their sap differs in taste, sweetness, and seasonal flow patterns.



Perfect for curious kids and adults who enjoy hands-on learning and spending time in the winter woods. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Rain or shine. This program will take place both indoors and outdoors; please dress for the weather. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Children under 2 are free. No strollers, please.
