GERMANTOWN COMMUNITY LIBRARY PRESENTS MAPLE SUGARING
Germantown, WI – The Germantown Community Library will host a Schlitz Audubon Nature Center presentation on Maple Sugaring on Friday, March 20 at 1:00pm. The beautiful Sugar Maple is the State Tree of Wisconsin for good reason. Reaching heights of over 60 feet and life spans over 200 years, these picturesque trees turn beautiful shades of orange, yellow and red in the fall. They also provide homes for many birds and other animals. The sweet and tasty sap of the sugar maple was first tapped by Native Americans and later by European settlers. The climate and seasons of Wisconsin are perfect for this tree to thrive and every year, our state ranks among the very top producers of maple syrup. This program will highlight the entire process from sugar maple tree growth to an historical overview of sugaring in the state, include various artifacts and offer a sweet taste of real maple syrup candy.
The Germantown Community Library is a cornerstone of our community that provides services, ideas, and resources that enrich lives, build connections, and grow the community. The event will take place at N112W16957 Mequon Road, Germantown WI, and is free and open to the public.
