Blandford Nature Center Hosts Sugarbush Festival and annual Pancake Breakfast
Blandford Nature Center (BNC), a natural, 143-acre community resource within Grand Rapids, celebrates the end of winter with its annual Sugarbush Festival - the tapping of maple trees in the BNC forest to produce delicious, real maple syrup. During the entire month of March, the annual Festival invites the community to visit BNC and learn how real maple syrup is produced.
