MISSOULA, Mont.- Tapping a maple tree in one Montana city could get you into a lot of trouble. The City of Missoula Urban Forestry Division sent out a public service announcement reminding everyone that tapping city-owned trees is not only illegal but can also be harmful. If you’re from Missoula or just visiting and want to tap a tree for syrup, ask before you start. The city said lots of its trees look like they might be on private property, but to be sure, contact the Urban Forestry Division.
