Maple Sap Boil

Join WRWC for the final gathering in our Nuestros Bosques Event Series: an all-day Maple Sap Boil on the Woonasquatucket River Greenway. Stop by for an hour or stay for the entire process as we transform the sap collected earlier in the season into maple syrup over a steady fire. As the sap boils, we’ll pause to share gratitude for the trees and river that made this harvest possible. Participants are invited to bring poems, words, music, or other offerings to welcome the new life and energy of spring. This is a relaxed, reflective, and community-centered day—come when you can, stay as long as you’d like, and take part in a time-honored seasonal tradition. Family-Friendly: Children welcome with a parent or guardian. Provided: Water and light refreshments. Low physical strain/difficulty. Event leaders are bilingual (English & Spanish). This event is part of our Nuestros Bosques Event Series, a three-part community program rooted in forest care, cultural tradition, and connection to the Woonasquatucket River. Together, participants learn from trees, steward urban woodlands, and celebrate seasonal change.
