Educational Programs at Sugarbush Hollow

During our Maple Season (March-mid May) we open our sugarhouse and sugarbush to area public and private schools for field trips. One of our many objectives is to create a place where people can learn about nature (trees, forests, wildlife, wildflowers, woodland foods, weather and ecological systems).  Other objectives include educating people about where their food comes from, farming the forest, how a tree makes maple sap, the history of maple syrup, imitation food products versus pure products and health/nutritional benefits, and most important how the maple syrup making process works.  We offer a class, group, or organization a presentation that can be adjusted to any age level, specific needs or interests, objectives, or curriculum. The cost of our presentation is $2.00 per person with a maximum group size of 50 persons and will last an hour and a half. 

If you choose our guided tour, our sugarhouse is located only 50 feet from the road with good car and bus parking right at the door. Our sugarhouse is handicapped accessible, the outdoor trails into the sugarbush (forest), which is within walking distance, is not. There are tables for eating, water, a microwave, pot belly stoves, and a porta-potty. 

Visitors should wear warm clothes and boots as the trials into the sugarbush may be snow covered and slippery.

Instead of a wine tour, how about a maple tour!  It's natural, non-alcholic and family oriented.  We offer group tours to no more than 50 people at one time and have ample bus or car parking.  Please note our sugarhouse is handicapped accessible, but we have only primitive bathroom facilities.
