Did you know that the Homer Lake Forest Preserve has a 200-year-old Sugar Maple Grove? People have been tapping sugar maple trees to make sugar and syrup for centuries, and now you can, too! Explore the science and the history behind maple sugaring, learn how to do it yourself, and even take home a sample of syrup made from our very own trees. All ages. $5 per person. Space is limited; registration required by February 23 at ccfpd.org. Register for the morning session or the afternoon session. Current public health guidelines will be followed. Program may be altered or canceled due to weather or health-related concerns. For more info: (217) 586-2612 or pcain@ccfpd.org.
