Rockwoods Reservation

                                          We are observing how Native Americans and Colonial
                                          Americans used to turn Sugar Maple sap into maple syrup
                                          or maple sugar.

                                         Here we are observing how people would make maple
                                          syrup today.
                                       

                                          Here we are tasting maple syrup candy! YUM!

                                       

                                         Here we are in the sugar bush trying to figure out how
                                          to identify a Sugar Maple tree.

                                         Tasting tree sap!!

                                          Looking inside the bucket that is collecting sap. The lid
                                          is to keep out rain water and MOST of the bugs.

                                          Getting safety directions before sitting around the fire.

                                         MMMM Smell that smoke!
