Tapping the trees for maple syrup
Taken at the Purple Woods Conservation Area. They have about 900 taps in the maple trees which is a tiny operation for maple syrup production. All the sap flows through these tubes to a building where it's boiled to thicken it into the syrup that we're used to. Apparently it takes 40 to 50 litres of sap to make one litre of syrup
