The Missouri Department of Conservation encourages you to discover nature. In February, tap into a sweet treat under the bark of sugar maple trees.
Sap within sugar maple trees is beginning to flow, ready to be tapped for making sugar and syrup.
Though you can tap a variety of trees, sugar maple sap has the highest sugar content—about three percent.
This time of year is prime maple sugaring season because it produces the right weather conditions.
Make sure the tree you tap is at least ten inches in diameter...any smaller, and you could harm the tree.
For supplies, make sure you have a tap or spile, to take sap from the tree and a bucket to collect the sap.
It takes forty gallons of sugar maple sap to yield one gallon of syrup.
For more information go online to mdc.mo.gov.
