to the environment after or before a harvest. After their presentation attendees went outside for tap training to learn how to drill, insert a tap and connect it to a sap collection bucket. Participants broke into 10 groups, grabbed buckets and supplies then, went to town tapping the Sugar Maple trees on public land in town! Each group will be checking their tree buckets daily and depositing sap from those buckets into larger storage barrels at the Community Center.

We will be attending an evaporator training session at Cape May Tech on Tuesday. We will be learning from Environmental Science & Sustainability teacher, Mike Adams, and his Junior and Senior level students. We hope to boil our first sap collection later this week.
