Maple production can be as simple as a few buckets in your backyard or as complex as several hundred taps within the woodlot on your farm.
Beginners and experienced producers alike wishing to hone maple sugaring skills, there’s a Maple 101 Workshop for you on Saturday, February 10th, at The West Woods Nature Center.
Registration is taken for this free workshop exclusively through the Geauga County OSU Extension Office at 440-834-4656. Participants will learn everything they need to know about sugaring, including tree biology and identification, why sap flows, tapping, collecting methods, sugarbush management, producing the finished product, canning and packaging, as well as local sugaring history.
The West Woods is located at 9465 Kinsman Road (Route 87) in Russell Township, and fully accessible. With questions about the workshop or the location, please call 440-286-9516.
