Spring is stirring, and you’re invited to gather in the Living Tree Alliance sugar bush for a joyful afternoon celebrating the spring equinox, the flowing maple sap of Vermont, and Nissan a season of renewal and new beginnings in the Jewish calendar.
This family friendly community celebration will be filled with hands-on activities, sweet treats, and the magic of the sugaring season.
🍁 Taste the season
Watch the Crowley family’s traditional maple sugaring operation in action and sample fresh sap and syrup straight from the source.
🎨 Crafts & creativity
Enjoy wreath making and festive face painting.
🎭 Community theater
Step into our whimsical “everyone plays a part” production—featuring singers, drummers, little sprouts, and more—as we come together to awaken Mother Earth and welcome the arrival of spring.
🔥 Fireside treats
Warm up with fresh bread and syrup while gathering around the fire to celebrate the sweetness of community.
Hibernation season is over—let’s welcome spring together!
The sugar house is located behind the field, about a 10–15 minute walk from the parking area, so please plan a little extra time to enjoy the stroll. Muck boots and waterproof gear are highly recommended—spring mud is almost guaranteed.
Living Tree Alliance welcomes everyone on a pay-what-you-can basis. Suggested donations help cover event costs, and contributions at or above that level help sustain future programming.
