Maple Syrup Festival!

Saturday, March 12th momstown Oshawa - Port Perry went to Purple Woods Conservation Area for their annual Maple Syrup Festival! It was a beautiful day for a nice walk through the sugar bush. The children had a chance to explore a shelter made from branches, see how maple syrup is made, and go on a horse drawn wagon ride through the woods!








We learnt that it takes 40 litres of sap to make just 1 litre of maple syrup! Seems like a lot of time and effort, but those pancakes sure were delicious!!!
