Maple Syrup Demonstration at Donald Park

Join the Friends of Donald County Park, Sunday, March 20th at 1:00 p.m. for a maple syrup making demonstration. We will gather at the Hitchcock Farmstead at the end of Sutter Drive to learn about tapping and gathering sap from the sugar maple trees. There will be a cook down of the sap and maple syrup tasting hosted by park volunteers. Alex Britzius with Wild Harvest Nature Connection will educate visitors on the basics of the syrup making process and demonstrate how to build the fire and share trivia on the history of the syrup making process. Visitors will have the opportunity to hike out to the sugar maple grove, so dress appropriately. Parking along Sutter Drive is limited so please park on the right side entering the farmstead. There is a parking lot along Sutter Drive if you choose to walk the short distance to the farmstead.
