Maple Sugaring at the Somerset County Park Commission’s Environmental Education Center Maple sugaring is a tradition in the Northeast that began centuries ago with the Native Americans and colonists. People of all ages are invited to see this tradition brought to life at the Environmental Education Center. You will see how trees are tapped, view sap-collecting methods past and present, and see the boiling process that produces delicious New Jersey maple syrup. This 90-minute program is conducted at our Sugar Shack, which is a ½ mile hike from the EEC. Please arrive at the EEC 20-30 minutes before the program start time. Organized groups, including schools, may schedule weekday demonstrations by calling the Center at 908 766-2489. This special event program is free and for all ages. Boiling Down
