Description A limited number of "Leases" are available for purchase through January 22, 2027.

Tap into history and welcome spring with Stage Nature Center's popular annual Rent-a-Maple event! Help support our sugar bush by "leasing" a maple tree. Your name will hang on a tree during the syrup season to acknowledge your generous support. Holiday gift leases must be purchased by December 9, 2026.

A limited # of trees will be available for participants to tap themselves or to be tapped by staff members. You have the choice of “leasing” a maple tree that will be tapped by your group of up to 5 participants at $60 per tree, a maple tree that will be tapped by staff members (guests are not present for tapping) at $50 per tree, or a maple tree that that is too young to collect sap from (no tap) at $30 per tree. All tree leases include a Rent-a-Maple package that will contain the following:

~ Name tag on tree from February 27 through March 31
~ A pint of pure maple syrup
~ A spile for tree tapping at home
~ Maple sugar candy
~ Certificate of appreciation
~ Other special surprises

Rent-a-Maple packages will be available for pick-up at the SNC starting on February 27, 2027. Groups that are tapping their own trees will be scheduled to tap on February 27, 2026.
