March Maple Tree Sap | But Why Adventures! Northeast Nature

Take a tour of a Vermont sugarhouse during its busiest time of year! Maple sugarmaker Brandon Mansfield walks us through the process of turning sap into syrup. Along the way, we take our knowledge of photosynthesis from September’s episode and learn how the forces of capillary action, cohesion and adhesion move water, minerals and sugars all throughout a tree.
