You will have the opportunity to examine maple-sugaring implements, learn to identify trees in winter, measure tree diameter and set a tap using a drill. Evaporators will be steaming in the sugarbush to which you can add some sap.

There will be an informative video and lots of activities for the whole family!

Maple Butter Recipe...
Here's a recipe that was popular at Beaver Brook's Maple Sugar Festival a couple of years ago. For those of you who didn't catch it the first time around, give it a try - enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 Cups Maple Syrup

1 lb Butter

Boil Maple Syrup down to softball (238 degrees) stage. Remove from heat and add sticks of butter (if butter is frozen, it will cool down syrup faster). Stir slowly until butter is completely melted, then set bowl in a pan of ice water and mix with electric mixer until cool and thick. Pour into desired containers. Great on home made breads

Beaver Brook Association is a nonprofit environemntal education organization with 2,000 acres of land and 30+ miles of trails. It is open to the public dawn to dusk 7 days a week. It is a beautiful place to visit year round! The Maple Fest has been running for over 5 years. It is a great family event with plenty to do for the day. There are craft activities for the kids; you can try snowshoeing; sleigh rides (if the snow stays) wagon rides if not; maple product sales. It's right on the Pepperell, MA/Hollis, NH border about an hour north of Boston.
