Maple harvest time
It's maple harvest time at Shaver's Creek Environmental Center. The work has begun at the center to tap maple trees, gather sap and cook it down into syrup. Here, student volunteers Tessa Gross, left, Jamie Palmer and Clif Castleman were dressed in period costume as they demonstrated sugaring techniques used byAmerican Indians, pioneers and modern-day farmers. The center's annual Maple Harvest Festival was held March 22 and 23. For details, check the Web at http://www.ShaversCreek.org/notices/maple/default.asp
Julie Fruit, a sophomore in recreation and park management, shows fifth-graders from Juniata Valley how the maple sap is collected from trees. The students were at Shaver's Creek Environmental Center on a field trip recently.
