Sugar Bush Tour & Pancake Brunch

Join us for a guided walk (about 1.5 km) through the Hutchinson Acres’ sugar bush, followed by a hearty pancake brunch with – you guessed it – Hutchinson Acres’ maple syrup at the East Dalhousie Recreation Centre. Chris and Anna Hutchinson will walk us through their maple sap harvesting process and we will see first hand what a healthy sugar bush looks like!

We will meet at Anna’s Maple Cafe parking lot at your designated start time. From there we will consolidate to a few cars and carpool to the sugarbush and then onto the community hall. Our first group leaves the cafe parking lot at 9 am, followed by subsequent groups with 30 minute intervals. After the sugar bush walk, each group will head up to the East Dalhousie Recreation Centre for a pancake brunch (GF and vegan options are available upon request). There will also be information on the proposed Chain Lakes Wilderness Area at the Hall.
