Sap to Syrup at Tenafly Nature Center

Find out how sap becomes syrup and which local trees can be tapped for their own unique flavors at the Sap to Syrup event at Tenafly Nature Center.

This hands-on, family-friendly program takes participants outdoors to learn how sap flows through trees, how it’s collected, and how it’s turned into syrup. You’ll learn to identify local tree species and practice tapping with real tools starting with familiar maple trees before exploring other tap-worthy trees. You’ll also compare how sap from different trees varies in taste, sweetness, and seasonal flow.

There are two sessions to choose from, 11:30 am or 1:00 pm. Find more information and register for the event. Tenafly Nature Center is located at 313 Hudson Avenue in Tenafly, New Jersey.
