It's maple syrup time yet again, which means families can get a taste for how maple syrup is made at forest preserves throughout DuPage County. Residents can visit Kline Creek Farm to learn how to tap and cook maple sap into syrup. They can also swing by Fullersburg Woods to see a sap collection demonstration and learn how the ideal maple syrup is made.

Kids will love the hands-on learning experience that lets them tap their own tree and collect maple sap in a bucket. The interactive event will also feature heating the sap over the fire to watch it turn into syrup. Of course, there will be educational information and delicious syrup samples along the way.
