The Maitland Valley Conservation Au­ thority (MVCA) provides an oppor­ tunity for people to experience the sights and sounds of syrup produc­ tion. Maple Keys will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting March 11 through to April 7, weather per­ mitting. A visit to Maple Keys is a great March break or Easter week­ end family activity. Admission to Maple Keys is free. Visitors can explore the self­ guiding trail which explains both past and present methods of maple syrup production. Historical dis­ plays show how syrup production has changed over the years. MVCA staff will also be on hand to discuss boiling and canning procedures in the evaporator house. Guided tours of the sugar bush are available to groups for a nominal fee. Contact the MVCA at 335-3557 for more information. Maple syrup is a pure natural product with no preservatives add­ ed. Syrup from Maple Keys is available for sale (subject to availa­ bility) in a wide variety of sizes along with other maple products (butter, jelly and candy) from local producers.

In addition to syrup production, Maple Keys is also an interesting site for nature walks and wildlife viewing. The property contains a variety of natural communities which support a mixture of wildlife including, white tailed deer, muskrats, and cottontail rabbits. A bird feeding program was started this winter so visitors are encour­ aged to stop at the feeders and watch the antics of the chickadees, nutchatches and woodpeckers.
