The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

Did you know that sap from the bigleaf maple tree, native to the Pacific Northwest, can be made into syrup similar to sugar maple syrup from the Eastern United States?

Join Eliza Nelson from the Oregon Maple Project to learn about the history, science, process, and best practices for maple sugaring in the PNW.

Take a guided walk on Arboretum trails to visit bigleaf maples that have been tapped, as well as watch a tree-tapping demonstration. The program will conclude with a maple syrup tasting.

Class size is limited, and pre-registration is required.
