March is a transitional month in Maine. Daytime temperatures above freezing and nighttime temperatures below freezing provide perfect conditions for maple syrup production. First grade teacher Josh Olins recently brought his students outside to the Peace Park to tap a maple tree on a sunny March day. The pictures below tell the story of this unique outdoor learning opportunity. It is a hopeful sign of spring!
