I love having young children get the opportunity to hang out in the timber, exploring and learn about the history of maple syrup production and how the Indigenous people were first to tap trees, inserting hollow reeds, letting the sap drip into troughs and boiling it down over a wood fire. The process isn't much different today, except most people use metal taps, plastic tubing and buckets or plastic bags to catch the sap.
