Maple Tree Sap Collecting

This Spring we have been to three nature centers during their maple tree taping season. We were so inspired that we bought our own kit to tap our backyard silver maple. Our huge tree has only produced about 2 cups so far. Today though at Westwood Hills Nature Center the boys were able to collect the sap from their abundantly producing trees. Unfortunately we can't add it to our meager 2 cups but now they understand the process better.
