Maple Tapping Winter Walk

Greenwich Land Trust hosts maple tapping and a winter walk.

Take a winter nature walk with the Greenwich Land Trust’s stewardship staff through one of GLT forest preserves on Tuesday, March 3rd from 1:00-3:00PM. See a maple tapping and syrup boiling demonstration and learn what goes into making the sweet stuff! The process of maple tapping is indigenous to our northern forests and an important part of our local history. During this time of year, the forest is just waking up from a long slumber and we’ll talk about the clever ways plants and wildlife survive the winter.

The event will take place at The American Chestnut Sanctuary (Across from 18 Burning Tree Road) in Greenwich, CT. Walking conditions are moderate difficulty with minimal uneven terrain. The price is $25 for non-members and $15 for members. Children under 12 are free.
