Maple Sugarin’
at the Prairie School Programs
Darke County Parks invites teachers to bring their classes out to the
park for their favorite seasonal school program: “Nature’s Sweet
Treat.” This program allows students to observe the process of turning
sap into the sweetest of nature’s treats: maple syrup! Topics will
cover the science behind maple syrup, as well as the rich cultural
history of maple sugaring. Students will have the option of trying some
maple sugar and fresh maple syrup at the end of the program as well.
The program lasts for 60-90 minutes, and classes are welcome to eat
their packed lunch before or after the program. The park is offering
this program only between February 20th and February 28th, so be sure
to call and register quickly before the spaces fill up. Call (937)
548-0165 and ask to speak to Robb for more information!
