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 Meghan Kearns 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 and watch a tree tapping demonstration. The program will conclude with a maple syrup tasting. Take home tapping kits and syrup will be available for purchase.
