Oudoor Education Maple Syrup Program

Oudoor Education Maple Syrup Program
Date: Feb. 17, 2026
Time: 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

An International program on maple syrup techniques will be held on Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 at the Florence Natural Resource and Wild Rivers Interpretive Center. Our panel of experts includes Fred Hedmark and Ernie Dagostino. There will be ample time for questions and answers.

These two men are maple syrup producers of varying size, so they can cover all levels of production from small to very big. Both men have been making maple syrup their entire life and are vastly knowledgeable in the production of maple syrup. Hedmark’s Maple Ridge, who is a maple supplies dealer, will also have maple equipment and supplies on display and for sale. This program should be of interest to those considering making maple syrup, those who want to compare experience and techniques and to those curious about the process of obtaining this tasty and necessary pancake product.
If you would like to learn more about making maple syrup, please join us. The program will be held from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the lower level conference room at the Florence Natural Resource and Wild Rivers Interpretive Center located on the corner of US 2 and Highway 101/70 in Florence (5628 Forestry Drive). Go to the second driveway to reach the lower level. The Zoom link option for this program is cancelled due to IT services not being available. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Florence County Outdoor Education programs are sponsored by the Friends of the Wild Rivers Interpretive Center and are open to the public free of charge. For more information, contact Wendy Gehlhoff at (715) 528-5920 or wgehlhoff@florencecountywi.gov.
