Secret Life of Maple Trees Walk
Purgatory Chasm State Park
Sutton, MA

When you think about autumn leaves, you almost always picture the brilliant reds, yellows and oranges of our local maple trees. Have you ever wondered how the tree knows it's time to change color? Or why some trees turn red and others yellow or orange? Or why sometimes leaves on the same tree can be different colors? Join Valerie Paul, co-founder of Blackstone Valley Sugaring Association, on a hike to unlock the mysteries of the magnificent maple tree.
