Earlier this spring we tapped ten maple trees and collected the sap (full disclosure, two of them were either dead or the wrong type of tree LOL). For several weeks, we collected the sap, and when we had collected enough we boiled it down into syrup. Each jar of maple syrup represents about 10 gallons of sap and several hours of perfectly timed boiling. We had so much fun learning about this process and enjoying some of nature’s earliest springtime bounty! 🍁🥞🍁🧇😋

Denison University spent their spring break at Big Laurel recently! And they got to really experience two seasons. The week started out cold and snowy and ended in full-on spring!
These students also got a special opportunity to visit Huntington and Marshall University to see the exposition at the Appalachian Studies Conference!
