Take a maple syrup hike at Ryerson Woods
Registration is underway for maple syrup hikes on Saturdays and Sundays, March 5-20, at Ryerson Woods on Riverwoods Road between Route 22 and Deerfield Road, just west of the I-94 in Riverwoods. Led by Lake County Forest Preserve nature educators, the one-hour hikes run every half-hour from noon to 2 p.m. and are open to all ages. Participants hike into the woods to view the sap collection in progress and then head over to the evaporator to learn how the sap becomes syrup. Everyone on the tour gets a taste of the final product. Registration is required. Cost is $6 per person. Children under age 3 are free. Register at www.lcfpd.org or call (847) 968-3321.
