Ready to bring the sugar bush into your school?

Here’s a glimpse of our “A Day in the Life of a Canadian Sugarmaker” experience, turning ordinary school spaces into immersive maple learning! 🍁

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prêts à amener la cabane à sucre directement dans votre école?

Voici un aperçu de notre expérience “Une journée dans la vie d’un acériculteur canadien”, qui transforme les espaces scolaires en une expérience d’apprentissage immersive autour de l’érable! 🍁

One of the things that makes our presentations so engaging is showing, not just telling.

Using cross-cut tree sections, we demonstrate ethical sugarmaking practices by highlighting proper tree size, growth stages, and the difference between heartwood and sapwood. We also explain why correct drilling depth is essential to protect the tree. 🪵 Simple visuals make sustainability easier to understand!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ce qui rend nos présentations aussi engageantes, c’est qu’on montre plutôt que de simplement expliquer.

À l’aide de sections de tronc coupées, on démontre des pratiques de production du sirop respectueuses de l’arbre: la bonne taille, les stades de croissance, et la différence entre le bois de cœur et le bois actif. On explique aussi pourquoi la profondeur de perçage est essentielle pour préserver la santé de l’arbre. 🪵 Des visuels simples pour mieux comprendre la durabilité!

Student safety always comes first, especially during hands-on moments like this!

When we invite students to drill into a maple tree before tapping it, our team is right there with them, modelling safe practices every step of the way. 🥽

Expectations matter, and they start with us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

La sécurité des élèves passe toujours en premier, surtout lors d’activités pratiques comme celle-ci!

Quand les élèves percent un érable avant d’y installer le chalumeau, notre équipe est à leurs côtés à chaque étape pour montrer les bonnes pratiques de sécurité. 🥽

Les attentes sont importantes, et ça commence avec nous.

If you’re new here, I’m Jeremy Poulin — owner of Poulin Natural Landscapes.

We build and care for outdoor spaces, and we also visit schools to teach students about trees and maple syrup production, inspiring them to connect with nature and learn hands-on-skills.

Our school presentations are fun, hands-on, and easy to follow. Students learn where maple syrup comes from, how trees grow, and why taking care of the environment matters. We bring real tools, real examples, and real stories from our work.

Our goal is to help students learn through experience, not just from a book. Everything we do is planned, safe, and age-appropriate.

This page shows our landscaping work and our school presentations.

We just released a FREE mini maple experiment that teachers can download and try this week!

🌈 Explore capillary action with a simple celery stalk experiment — the same process that moves sap up maple trees each spring. This hands-on activity is a fun way for students to see science in action and ask questions about how trees “drink.” 🌈

Poulin Natural Landscapes was born from a desire to create the ultimate connection between the outdoors and learning.

With 6 years of experience at Red Mill Maple Syrup and 3 years in landscaping at J&N Lawn and Landscape, I realized it was time to bring it all together.

Being outdoors sparks creativity, encourages curiosity, and teaches us to be proactive—lessons that extend far beyond the classroom. That’s the heart of what we do.

Our goal with every landscape project is to make a real impact by truly listening to our clients and over-delivering on every task. We aim to identify opportunities for improvement based on their needs, and we treat every property as if it were our own.

For students, our goal is to inspire outdoor, hands-on learning. The benefits for mental health and personal growth are incredible. We want students to see that what they learn in the classroom has real-world applications and is genuinely valuable.
