Join us at Osprey Wilds Environmental Learning Center on either day for a hands-on Maple Syrup Tour and Pancake Meal. 

Tours are one hour and will cover everything you need to know about making maple syrup, including maple tree Identification, how to tap trees, collecting sap, and processing sap into syrup.

Did you know there are several different species of maple trees in Minnesota? Learn why some trees are better for tapping than others. Leave knowing how to properly identify sugar maple trees!

 Walk through the process of properly drilling maple trees. Learn the best ways to collect sap and how to know when the sap will begin to flow. 

 

Help us collect maple sap. You might be surprised to see how much sap it takes to make syrup!

Visit our Sugar Shack, where sap is turned into delicious syrup. Our staff has been perfecting this process using a wood-burning evaporator for years, and you’ll be able to learn all about it!

Order a to-go pancake meal along with your tour! Taste our award-winning maple syrup and know exactly how it came to be.
