We're sugaring at Westshire School!

                          Sam from The Mountain School showed us the equipment                               needed for gathering sap from maple trees.

Tapping the tree.

Tasting the sap.

Hanging the buckets.

Maggie  brought stethoscopes for us to listen for the sound of sap rising.
Some of us thought we heard some movement.

Checking the buckets.

In less than two days we gathered about ten gallons of sap! We sent the sap to The Mountain School where we will see how it is boiled and turned to maple syrup.

                               A Big Thanks to Sam and Maggie who have helped us on                          every step of our sugaring adventure!
