Saturday, March 11 – 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

All are invited! Join in the fun. As part of this project, a team of volunteers tapped a swath of maple trees on the Tufts campus beginning in late January, collecting dozens of gallons of sap over a number of weeks.

At the Maple Boil Down, coordinated by the Somerville Community Growing Center, 22 Vinal Ave, with help from Groundwork Somerville, the sap will be boiled  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, experience the process of making fresh maple syrup first-hand, and even get to sample the sap as it’s boiling.
