A Sugar Bush is a forested area where maple trees are cultivated for the production of maple syrup. During late winter and early spring, the sap from these trees is collected and processed to create syrup. The process involves tapping the trees, collecting the sap, and boiling it down to achieve the desired sweetness and consistency. In addition to syrup production, a Sugar Bush can also serve as a habitat for various wildlife and a recreational area for activities like hiking and birdwatching. Many sugar shacks are located within these areas, where visitors can learn about the syrup-making process and enjoy related products.
