After only the first day of the program, the Green Power Maple participants had learned the ropes of sugaring and had taken over the jobs of collecting, filtering and dumping the sap on our daily collections around town. Although I see this often as I work with kids, it still always amazes me at how empowered they become when given the opportunity to learn and teach others simple, yet still important tasks like learning how to close the mega-sized doors on the dump truck or practice their pouring techniques with the “hats” on. I encourage you to stop by the sugar house someday and see this firsthand.
