February and March are sugaring season in Connecticut. The sap flows strongly on sunny mornings when it is just above freezing. Hopefully we will catch a sap run and taste some sap right from the trees! We will check out the Sugar Shack and see where the sap is boiled into syrup, make and eat pancakes cooked on campfire (weather-permitting), and explore the forest for signs of spring.
