Sugar maple tapping Feb. 18

Maple sugaring activities are scheduled to begin Saturday, Feb. 18, at Bendix Woods County Park in New Carlisle. Trees will be tapped for the upcoming sugaring season.

The public is invited to join park staff and volunteers to help drill holes in the trees and install the tubing system, which allows the trees’ sap to flow directly to the sugar house. Volunteers may also help clean sap storage tanks, split and stack firewood and clean the sugar house.

Tapping activities will begin at 10 a.m. at the Sauk Trail Shelter. The park will provide tapping bits, drills and other tools. Dress for the weather. The event is free, but advanced registration is required by calling (574) 654-3155.

The main entrance to Bendix Woods County Park is located on Timothy Road in New Carlisle, 8 miles west of the US 31 bypass from the SR 2 exit.
