Homeschool Maple Sirup Field Trips at Sugar Grove Nature Center in rural McLean

Sugar Grove Nature Center offers this Funks Grove Maple Sirup educational experience for homeschooling families. The program provides a special opportunity for students to actively engage in the production of maple sirup as they explore its history from pre-settlement to current day through demonstrations and hands-on activities. Every student will have the opportunity to tap a sugar maple tree and take home a small bottle of Funks Grove Pure Maple Sirup.
