  • Thursday, November 14, 2024, 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM

Interested in tapping into your own trees for syrup production? This workshop will cover a variety of aspects of maple syrup production including: why make maple syrup, tree identification, tree health, tapping, sap collection and handling, boiling, energy efficiency, finishing and grading syrup, canning, marketing and regulations. This workshop is aimed at the small or beginning maple producer and would be useful to the homeowner looking to tap a few trees in the backyard or even expand to tapping a few hundred trees.

This workshop will be taught by Adam Wild. Adam Wild is Director of Cornell University's Uihlein Maple Research Forest, and co-director of the Cornell Maple Program. The Uihlein Maple Research Forest, located in Lake Placid, NY, is a 350-acre forest providing applied research and education for the maple industry. As director, Adam oversees research within their 7,000+ tap commercial maple operation along with tapping and producing other tree syrups such as birch and beech. In addition to his work within the research forest, Adam provides educational workshops and training for maple producers to increase productivity and sustainability of their maple operations.
