education doesn’t have to be formal classrooms and schools!! you can do informal education at museums, zoos, parks, aquariums, historic sites, etc. like me!

AAAH I love that!! i’m in the Great Lakes region and i take kiddos out to the Sugarbush to tap maple trees for sap to make real maple syrup!! even kindergarteners get to learn how to identify a maple tree and why we tap trees in the late winter/early spring, and they learn how the Indigenous Americans would tap the tree with more natural materials (like a duck bill as a spile!!), cook the sap, and make maple SUGAR since it stored much better!
