The Sugar Maple tree near Skillman Library.
Students of EVST 220 Places, People, and Environments of the Mid-Atlantic will take part in a longstanding regional tradition. We are tapping a Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) tree on the Lafayette College campus. In doing so, we will engage the campus community in a place-based celebration of human-natural relationships.
