Sugar Bush & Sap House Tour
Saturday, March 18, 2017
10:00 to 14:00
245 Hidley Rd, Wynantskill, NY 12198
Join us for a maple sap tour at the Hidley Farm and the Skinner Sugarbush. This is a great opportunity to see a small scale maple sugaring operation. It willstart with a tour of the woods to learn about sugarbush sillviculture, how to tap maple trees, and then how to collect and transport the sap. The tour will move to a nearby property where the sap house is located. The operation is a good example for landowners who may be considering a maple sugaring side business. Dress for the weather. This event is free and will be cosponsored by RPA and the CDC-NYFOA
