Tapping the sap: Woodbury farm kicks off maple syrup season
WOODBURY, Conn. — Drip, drip and drip.
That was the sound of sap flowing into a white plastic bucket hanging from a sugar maple tree at Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust on a recent morning. The rhythmic dripping into the plastic or metal buckets on the trees could have been mini drums beating an old, favorite song.
"It's a great sound," said volunteer Guy Gabrielson, who carried more buckets to a group of three surrounding a sugar maple tree. "This is an excellent day."
Tiny snowflakes flew as the volunteers set out to participate in the Flanders Nature Center & Land Trust's Tapping Day on Feb. 11 — the official kickoff to the 2012 maple season. About 35 volunteers participated, and around 200 trees were tapped for their sap.
Families stuck close to Flanders at its South Field, an enclosed area, to tap about 100 trees , and the seasoned tappers visited about 100 trees downtown that local owners donated to tap. Volunteers arrived promptly at 9:30 a.m., with gloves, a hammer and a drill in hand.
