Maple Sugarin' Time!







Join us March 6 & 7 for our annual Maple Sugain' on the Prairie event!



Starting bright and early Saturday morning at 7am, the Friends of the Darke County Parks will be hosting their fabulous Waffle Breakfast!
For a donation of $5/person, there will be waffles, sausage, juice, coffee and Ohio Maple Syrup a-plenty! For tickets, swing by the Nature Center, or get here early to buy them at the door. The breakfast will last from 7am-10:30am on Saturday ONLY.

Then, from 7:30am-4pm, join a Naturalist-led tour of our 'Sugar Bush Trail' as we learn the history and science of Maple Sugaring.
We'll travel through time and history discovering the origin of Maple Syrup, how we make it in our very own Sugar Shack and more! The Log House will be open and our pioneers will be busily preparing for spring and offering all visitors a sampling of early-spring foods. Be sure to visit the Gift Shop at the Nature Center for everything and anything Maple Syrup. We'll have maple-flavored dog bones for your pooch, maple candies for you, maple syrup for those waffles/pancakes at breakfast and Maple Peanut Brittle! These tours will also continue into Sunday from 12pm until 4pm.
