According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, in Native American and early Colonial times, the Full Moon in March was called the Full Worm Moon. The ground begins to soften, and earthworm casts reappear, inviting the return of robins. This has also been called the Sap Moon, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow, and the annual tapping of maple trees begins.
