Sugar Bush Fair

Sponsored by the Spring Valley Nature Club

Sugar Bush Fair is our beloved celebration of spring and the time-honored tradition of maple sugaring! Discover how Native Americans of the eastern woodlands introduced the art of maple syrup making, and see the process in action. A wagon shuttle will be available to transport guests between the breakfast area and the Nature Center. Admission to the Sugar Bush Fair and all related activities is FREE!
