As spring begins its approach, some look to the maple tree as a source of food and inquiry. Discover the delight of tapping maple trees and sugaring with young children in this online primer. Under the lens of working with young children, we will introduce the process of maple sugaring and help participants feel comfortable bringing this experience to their own programs and practice. We will introduce basic winter tree identification, address the cultural and historical relevance of sugaring, share best practices and responsible harvesting, discover the science behind the sugaring process, and share tips, tricks, and additional resources for engaging children in the process.
