TENAFLY, N.J.—Experience the taste of fresh crisp apple cider with the Tenafly Nature Center. 

Participants will use an apple press, help to make cider, and learn about the history of apple cultivation and cider making. Tenafly Nature Center will provide the apples, but more apples mean more cider. 

“Help us out by bringing three or more apples per person,” said the nature center. 

Sessions are 45-minutes long on Sundays now through Oct. 27, at 2 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. 

All ages welcome, but children must be accompanied by an adult. In case of inclement weather, the program will be held under cover. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Children under 2 are free, but no strollers allowed.
