Maple Syrup Lessons

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will offer lessons on how to make maple syrup at various state parks between now and the middle of April. The DNR's Pat Arndt said collecting the sap from trees and turning it into syrup has become a popular family activity for many Minnesotans. Arndt said its a great family activity and kids of most any age can get into the act. The schedule of maple syrup programs at Minnesota State Parks plus an instruction sheet on how to tap and make maple syrup are posted on the DNR web site at www.mnstateparks.info.
