Video and Teaching Guidebook

"The Maple Sugaring Story" Video

A 29 minute video production, narrated by noted Folk Musician Margaret MacArthur and Sugarmaker Frank Dodge. A great videotape for school and family viewing.

The story of Maple Sugaring is about more than maple production. It's about people - from the early times of the Northeastern North Americans, to the European Colonists, to those who today work with the land and nature in a time-honored way, harvesting and processing the product of a phenomenon that occurs in just one region of the world for only a brief time each year. The yield is a pure, natural delicacy cherished for its unique flavor, and its ability to provide special joy at the end of long cold winters, heralding the arrival of spring. It's about industry, purity, tradition, evolution of technology, ecological problems and a host of other topics and concepts connected with the world in which we live.
