Maple Science

At Drumlin Farm, learn maple tree identification and the plant parts and functions involved in making sap. From the sugarbush to the evaporator, explore the tools and processes for how people harvest this New England crop. Observe the physical changes with your eyes and your tastebuds as maple sap is transformed to maple tea and then maple syrup.
