Sap to Syrup at Letchworth State Park

Описание: Join Letchworth State Park educator Elijah Kruger in our sugarhouse to see the step-by-step process of how we make maple syrup and maybe get some inspiration to try it in your neighborhood.

Join us at Letchworth State Park to follow the story of maple syrup, from tree to bottle.

Mapling teaches us biology, agriculture, chemistry, American history, and climate change.
