Toronto residents can now officially enjoy sap from inner city trees. As reported by

"The city has officially backed down from its stance on tapping inner-city trees for sap. A few weeks ago, we reported that the powers that be were turning down requests from environmentalists wishing to extract the gooey goodness from maple trees in local parks.

But now, Laura Reinsborough's Not Far From the Tree initiative has been given the green light, and several trees have already been tapped."
