After a long and snowy winter, we can finally look forward to longer days and warmer weather. As the days become longer and the temperatures rise, it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. Whether you’re a fan of the outdoors or an athlete, there are plenty of activities to get involved in this Spring. For athletes, the start of Spring means an opportunity to switch up your training and get ready for the upcoming season. From running drills to lifting weights, now is the time to start working on your conditioning so you can be in peak performance for the start of the summer season.
Spring also brings the start of maple syruping. As the days become warmer and the nights remain cold, maple sap begins to flow and maple syrup producers can start harvesting sap and boiling it down to syrup. The process of maple syruping is an important part of the culture in many parts of North America, and it’s something that anyone can experience. Many sugarbushes hold open houses this time of year so you can see the sap being collected and boiled down. Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned producer, Spring is the perfect time to get out and experience the process of maple syruping.
