Ever wondered how maple syrup is made? Stop by the Pavilion at Grass River Center at Grass River Natural Area near Bellaire on Saturday, March 21, between 12-3pm to help turn maple sap to syrup! Ask staff questions and hike on the trail to see where trees are tapped, buckets and lines are hung, and sap is collected. There might even be Grass River Maple Syrup available for purchase! grassriver.org
