With warmer days and cool nights, the sap in the maple trees is beginning to flow! But with climate change, will the tradition of sugaring survive in Vermont?
Learn about the history and ecology of sugaring with Grand Isle/Franklin County forester Nancy Patch at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, February 26th at the Worthen Library in South Hero.
Nancy will also talk about how climate change is affecting sugaring, how sugar makers are adapting to climate change, and how species diversity in the sugarbush may be the key to the tradition's survival.
This talk is part of the Winter Wednesdays Lecture Series at the Worthen, sponsored by The South Hero Land Trust, C.I.D.E.R., and the Worthen Library, and is free and open to the public.
