Syrup Sunday & Pancake Breakfast in New Canaan
Submitted by Hilary at the New Canaan Nature Center
New Canaan Nature Center Annual Syrup Sunday & Pancake Brunch
Sunday, March 14 ~ Noon – 3pm
Bring the whole family and join us in and around the Nature Center’s “Sugar Shack” to learn about this New England tradition and celebrate the bounty from the Syrup Season! The day will include a maple tree tapping demo, a sap boil down, and a sneak peak at historic methods of Maple Syruping. We’ll also host a delicious Pancake Brunch where you and yours can sample first hand the sweet treat of the sugar maple trees atop a short stack of flapjacks topped with your choice of toppings (berries, fruit, walnuts, chocolate chips, whipped cream). Join our naturalists for a hike along “Maple Lane” and learn how to identify sugar maples and other trees and hunt for signs of spring. Warm up around the campfire where we’ll share tales of winter adventures & make a Maple Craft/Treat.
This event is primarily held outdoors and activities will be ongoing throughout the day.
Ages: All ages.
Members: $8/person / Non-Members: $12/person
