Unique to Wisconsin, the Northeastern United States, and Canada, maple syrup-making involves the use of sugar and black maple tree sap to produce a delicious liquid product. During this program, students will observe and interact with the staff of an environmental science facility (Fallen Timbers Environmental Center, located in Seymour, WI) selecting and tapping trees, gathering sap and producing syrup in the Cartier Outdoor Classroom Maple Syrup Cabin. “Nips” of maple syrup will be shipped to all schools so students can taste and, if schools wish to tap their own trees, several hooks and spiles will be included. The price of these is included in the cost of the program. Short bio of presenter:Libby Dorn has been the director of Fallen Timbers Environmental Center, Seymour, Wisconsin, for the past 22 years.
