Learn about the entire maple syrup process, from tapping the trees to sampling the finished product.

Come to Russell Woods Natural Resource Center in Genoa for Maple Syruping from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 6.

The day starts with a syrup taste testing. Visitors get a pancake to dip into real syrup and corn syrup and get to decide which is better.

Typically people will go out on the hour to do demonstrations/conversation about the process of tapping trees for sap water. This particular tour ends at the evaporation pans to see the boiling sap water.
