Maple Sap Dripping from a Tree Tap | Spring Forest Tradition

Early spring in the forest and the sap is running. When freezing nights give way to warmer days, maple trees begin moving sugar through their trunks. A simple tap allows the sap to drip slowly into a bucket.

Across Eastern Europe, people have tapped birch and maple trees for centuries, collecting the sweet sap as a refreshing spring drink after the long winter.

One tree. One tap. One drop at a time.
