Event details

If you’re craving an outdoorsy spring-break morning without a long drive, Ryerson Woods delivers. Follow a naturalist-led walk through sugar-maple country, learn how trees move water and nutrients, and see how sweet sap becomes syrup.

The program is designed for individual families, with a short trail component—dress for muddy patches and shifting spring temperatures. Everyone gets a taste at the end, making this an easy win for kids (and grown-ups) who love hands-on nature learning.
