Don't miss our annual celebration of spring: Maple Sugaring Days, March 11-12, from 1-4 p.m. at LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve in St. Charles. Naturalists from the Forest Preserve District of Kane County will teach you how to tap a maple tree. You can try drilling and setting a tap. Watch sap simmer over an open fire as it thickens to syrup. Join us on a "Sugarin' Time" hike to learn to distinguish maples from other trees. Sample pure, local syrup. And, check-out the interactive exhibits inside Creek Bend Nature Center. Bring the whole family for this fun, free program. Make this your spring tradition! Creek Bend Nature Center is located within LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve at 37W700 Dean St., St. Charles. For more information, call 630-444-3190 or e-mail programs@kaneforest.com.
