Closing out Earth Week at the Minnesota Veterans Homes - Fergus Falls the best way we know how. 🌿☀️

Residents enjoyed Chair Chi (seated aerobics designed to support gentle movement and balance) out in the fresh air, followed by a sweet maple syrup tasting.

Brad and Veteran Resident Paul led a live demonstration on tree tapping and shared how sap becomes syrup, along with answering questions from Residents.

Did you know it takes about 40 gallons of sap to make just 1 gallon of maple syrup?
