Family Tapping

Sugarbush House at Riveredge Nature Center 4400 County Rd. Y, Saukville

Help us prepare for the sugarin’ season by tapping the maple trees in Riveredge’s sugarbush. We need people to drill the holes, tap in the spiles and hang the buckets. When it’s maple sugarin’ time, spring can’t be far behind!
