MAPLE SUGARING TOURS AT MASS AUDUBON’S IPSWICH RIVER WILDLIFE SANCTUARY IN TOPSFIELD
Celebrate the coming of spring as maple sugaring season gets underway at Mass Audubon’s Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary in Topsfield. Sugaring tours will run on Saturdays and Sundays, February 29 & March 1, March 7 & 8, and March 14 & 15 at 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m.
On a one-hour naturalist-guided tour, learn how to identify a sugar maple tree, observe tapping and sap collection methods, discover how sap becomes syrup in the sugarhouse, and get a sweet taste of the final product. Rain or shine. Warm up after your tour by the woodstove in the barn, where hot food and homemade baked goods, maple sugar candy, other maple products, and the sanctuary’s own maple syrup, are available for sale.
Tour fee: $12/adults, $10/children (Mass Audubon members: $10/adults, $8/children). Children under 3 are free and should be in a backpack carrier.
Advance registration is required. Register online at massaudubon.org/ipswichriver or call 978-887-9264. Photo Credit Laura Coulbourn n
