You Can Learn How to Make Pure Maple Syrup at Minnesota State Parks

Warmer temperatures mean that Minnesota's maple syrup season is likely to start earlier than previous years.  This is great news to some people and for others it doesn't mean anything because they don't know how to make pure maple syrup. That could change, thanks to the Minnesota DNR.

If you'd like to learn a new skill, you can come to one of the free programs coming up at Minnesota state parks.  You'll find that you can make maple syrup in your own yard using tools you probably already have.  I think it would be cool to learn how to make syrup and it would sure beat another serving of Mrs. Butterworth's.

The programs are located at:

• Whitewater State Park (located near Winona), 10:30 a.m.-noon or 1 to 2:30 p.m. Saturday, March 5.
• Wild River State Park (located at Center City), 1-2 p.m. both Saturday, March 5, and Sunday, March 6.

Additional programs will take place at these and other Minnesota state parks through April 9.  You can get updated information on these programs and other information on maple syrup season by using the link below.
