Sugarbush Time

At the Nature Center we learned . . .

That maple trees have elbows in them.

Maple trees are not tapped until they are 40 years old.

It's called a "spile" and the sap that comes out is flowing UP the tree not down.

40 gallons of sap = 1 gallon syrup

My children loved the syrup "on the rocks"!

They wanted 2nds and 3rds and 4ths!
