Sugaring | Climate Wisconsin
What can maple tree tapping tell you about temperature and changes in our climate?
Though it only happens for a handful of weeks each year, tapping maple trees, collecting sap, and boiling to make maple syrup is seen as a marker of changing seasons. The sap-collecting season does not just yield maple syrup, it also yields a sign of the coming of spring and what’s happening with the climate. Follow the family at Stoney Acres farm through maple sugaring and syrup boiling to discover more about the future of maple syrup in the state.
