Maple Sugaring Workshops Set

Horn Farm Center for Agricultural Education, 4945 Horn Road, York, will offer Backyard Maple Sugaring workshops on Saturday, Feb. 25, from 10:30 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

In this class, attendees will learn a brief history of maple sugaring as well as what equipment is needed. Then the group will venture into the woods to tap a tree for a demonstration of how to process maple sap.

Attendees should come prepared for cold and possibly snowy weather. There will be walking, so sturdy walking shoes or boots are recommended. This class is family- and child-friendly, but children must be accompanied by an adult.

The instructors will be backyard maple sugaring hobbyists Lizzy and Tyler Echard. Lizzy is an environmental educator with DCNR, and Tyler works with the Adams County Conservation District.

There is a fee to participate. Spots are limited, and preregistration is required at http://www.hornfarmcenter.org/kitchen-classes/.
