Ready to start tapping trees in your yard? This two-part course will guide you through the process so you can make your own maple syrup! Every year at Lorrimer Sanctuary we tap trees to make homemade maple syrup. With the proper tools and a large enough maple tree, you can tap trees at home too! In this two-part program, we will go over everything you need to know about tapping maple trees and processing maple syrup. Participants will leave each program with the exact knowledge and practice to duplicate the process at home. Materials are not included, but a list will be provided before the first program to set you up for success!
