Description: Community Sap Tap Back for a third year! For $20, residents will get a kit that can be used to tap sap from any privately owned tree in the maple family (including box elders). Then we'll have two Saturday sap boils in March at ML.King Park at which participants and other curious residents can watch the transformation of the mostly watery sap to a concentration of sweet syrup. The all-day boil-downs on March 25th are an opportunity to bond with other neighborhood residents and learn more about how sap is turned into syrup. Register and pick up a Tree Tapping Kit from the front desk of MLK Park. (note, trees must be larger than 10 inches in diameter). Kit includes spline(s), tubing, 5 gallon food grade collection bucket, and how-to instructions. Participants will be able to sign up for a shift of syrup making, and will get to take a jar of syrup home with them too! A program of the Kingfield Neighborhood Association and MLK Park. If you have your own equipment or are returning from last year email king@minneapolisparks.org to register for $10.00. Upon registration for this program, participants agree to maintain social distance (6 feet) at all times and adhere to the current Minnesota state face covering mandate. (Face covering exceptions may apply to certain MPRB activities.) Failure to comply will result in removal from the program.
