As part of this project, a team of volunteers taps a swath of maple trees on the Tufts campus, collecting dozens of gallons of sap over a number of weeks.

At the Maple Boil Down, coordinated by the Somerville Community Growing Center, they will boil it all down into real, true 100% hyper-local maple syrup. At this event, youth and adults alike will have a chance to learn about tree anatomy and physiology and experience the process of making fresh maple syrup first-hand.

The event is open to all!  Visit https://www.thegrowingcenter.org/maplesyrupproject for more information!  No registration required.
