Writing forest management plans and managing forests for maple syrup production presents unique challenges. The sentiment that you “don’t cut sugar maple” could use some critical thinking and review. In this workshop, we will explore maple syrup production, state and federal policies regarding sugarbush management, and timber marking for sugar maple stand improvement.

Registration opens soon.
