Well before the arrival of Europeans, First Nations peoples discovered a use for the sap from sugar maple trees. It was a refreshing drink. When colonists arrived in Quebec, they discovered sugar maple trees and maple water, but it wasn’t until the French brought the iron cauldron that they learned together how to make maple syrup. In the early spring, when the trees are tapped to collect maple water, and the water is boiled down into a sweet syrup, take a trip to visit the sugar shacks in the region to learn more about how to maintain, use and protect our region’s maple forests.
