Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust is excited to announce the opening of the Sugar House for the public to come experience the maple syrup-making process on March 2, 3, 9 and 10, from 1 to 4pm. Flanders staff and volunteers will demonstrate turning sap into syrup with an entertaining mix of science, stories and humor. The entire family will be fascinated by the maple sugar-making process.

There is a $5 per person suggested donation, which will go to support Flanders’ future maple sugar programming. Interested parties can reserve their time slot to visit the Sugar House by registering online at FlandersNatureCenter.org/programs-events, or by calling the office at 203-263-3711, ext. 12. The demonstrations will take place at the Flanders Sugar House, located at 48 Church Hill Road in Woodbury.
