Maple Sugaring: Tuesday, February 16 Today we値l learn about one of nature痴 tastiest treats--maple syrup. We値l discover how to distinguish a sugar maple from all the other trees in the forest and tap it to collect the sap.

Winter Homes: Wednesday, February 17 Can you imagine being outside through the entire winter? We値l explore the woodlands, wetlands, and field edges for nests, cavities, burrows, dens, and lodges to discover how birds, mammals, and insects find homes in this challenging season. We値l build an igloo or shelter and see how warm it can be inside.
Carnivores Dining Out: Thursday, February 18 Winter is a great time to look for predators and the evidence they leave behind. Today, we値l look at animal bones, fur, scat, tracks, and chews. Then we値l hike the sanctuary in search of hawks, foxes, fishers, river otters, and more. We値l investigate how these animals are able to hunt prey in the cold winter weather.
Frosty Feathers: Friday, February 19 Have you ever watched a woodpecker peck a tree in search of food? Today, we値l observe chickadees, goldfinches, and cardinals gobbling up seed at the sanctuary bird feeders as they store up fat for the cold nights.

Spring celebrations begin early at the sanctuary with the age-old tradition of maple sugaring. The warm days of late winter awaken the flow of sap in the maples, causing buds to swell and resulting in sweet smells coming from the sugarhouse. Tours last about an hour.
Learn how to identify a sugar maple, observe tapping and sap collection methods, and watch the sap being boiled down in the sugarhouse, where everyone gets a sweet taste of the final product.
Afterwards, warm up in the barn by our woodstove, indulge in a hot dog cooked in maple sap, sample our delicious soup and desserts made by sanctuary volunteers, or browse through our gift shop. Syrup is available for sale (quantities may be limited). Rain or shine.
Advance registration required for all tours.

The Topsfield Fair is America窶冱 oldest agricultural fair established in 1818 and held every October during harvest time. The Fair is chock full of agricultural exhibits as well as homemade baked goods and farm animals. There is also a largest pumpkin contest-always the most popular exhibit. It also has plenty for the kids including great stuff to eat and also a midway loaded with amusement park rides and games and a parade. The Topsfield Fair is a fun time for everyone and well worth the price of admission. Plan to spend a day there next October-you will be glad you did.
