Little Sweet Tooth

Hosted by: Vanier Museopark

Children walk through the heritage forest of Richelieu Park and discover its main attraction: a unique urban sugar bush! Children are introduced to the cycle of the seasons, the different species of maple trees and the phenomenon of sap flow. They learn to respect the ecosystem by participating in a treasure hunt.
