Activities Enjoyed This Year of 2023
Making Maple Syrup We watched the art of turning maple sap into syrup at Ellie Crosby’s, just as the Wolsfeld family once did. This included enjoying a scoop of vanilla ice cream drizzled with maple syrup.
Spring Ephemeral Wildflower Walk Spring ephemerals bloom in that brief interval between the soil’s warming and the leafing of the dense tree canopy. Sue Galloway, a trained wildflower specialist, helped us distinguish beautiful hidden blooms that often go unnoticed.
