The sweetest time of year approaches! Maple Sugaring season at the RMSC Cumming Nature Center (CNC) is coming up next month, and it's already time to start planning a family outing–tickets to this event sell out annually. The CNC is hosting its 48th annual Maple Sugaring Weekends the last two weekends in March. Enjoy a locally-sourced pancake breakfast before heading outside for tapping and boiling demonstrations on the trail to the Sugar House–see how syrup gets from tree to plate!

The pancake breakfasts are served steaming-hot and fresh, with real maple syrup, of course! The ingredients are sourced from Finger Lakes favorites like New Hope Mills, Bostrom Farms, Pittsford Farms Dairy, and Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters. Gluten-free and vegan-friendly options (Bob's Red Mill pancakes) are available upon request at no extra charge. 

The dining room is open from 9 am–1 pm each day, and guests will be seated on a first-come, first-served basis. 

ASL interpretation is available! 

On Sunday, March 22, American Sign Language interpretation will be available for trail demonstrations. At 11am and 1pm, an ASL interpreter will accompany a group through the educational stations and out to the sugarhouse. 

This service is free, but trail admission or Pancake Breakfast + Trail tickets are sold separately. Register in advance here if you'd like to reserve a spot for this service!
