Maple trees were tapped and buckets hung in the Bubolz Nature Preserve during the first week of March. We missed the culminating event when the Sap was to be collected, turned into syrup and offered over ice cream on the last day of March. We found numerous buckets still collecting sap on our hike through the trails ten days later.

This authentic log schoolhouse was first constructed at Franklin Elementary School in Appleton, WI with donated materials and labor to celebrate America’s Bicentennial. Twenty years later the schoolhouse was moved to a more natural setting at Bubolz Nature Perserve in Appleton where it was repaired and updated. It is still used by schoolchildren to experience early Wisconsin education including the 3 Rs taught by costumed teachers. A pointed dunce cap sits in a corner awaiting an unruly child.
