Silverbrook’s Maple and Mushroom Woodland Walk

Explore how Silverbrook Manor’s woodland supports the production of agricultural products.

• Understanding sap flow and seasonal maple production
• Selecting and managing logs for mushroom cultivation
• Recognizing how shade, moisture and decomposition support farm production
• Protecting woodland soil, habitat and future harvests

Available farm products will be offered for purchase.
