Maple Syrup Day will be at the W.K. Kellogg Experimental Forest on March 17. Attendees are invited to celebrate the first agricultural crop to be harvested and the return of spring by exploring the art of maple syrup production.

Children’s activities include face painting, creating tree cookie medallions and playing a traditional game.
Syrup will be on sale in pint ($10) and quart ($15) containers.
The admission fee is $1 per person. Children 2 years old and younger are admitted for free. For more information, call (269) 731-4597.
