New ! Getting Involved with Maple Production
Maple sugaring represents a traditional and sustainable use of New York forests. With the demand for pure maple products currently outpacing supply and prices at record levels, there is a significant opportunity to increase production and fill the growing markets. Maple syrup production provides forest owners with an annual income without the need for commercial timber harvesting. There are three main ways landowners can get involved–each with their own unique opportunities. Download brochure >>>

Taking Stock and Looking Ahead: Benchmarking New York State Maple Sugar Production
Cornell University Department of Natural Resources researchers have produced a statistical report of NY maple production, Taking Stock and Looking Ahead: Benchmarking New York State Maple Sugar Production. The data are broken out by size class (# taps) and by geographical district to characterize the diversity among NY State maple producers, as well as to facilitate comparisons among similarly positioned operations. The report is based on a detailed mail survey of NY maple producers and is part of Cornell's effort to support maple production and sustainable rural development in New York. The report was funded by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station. Direct questions, comments and ideas to Steve Wolf, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Natural Resources, Cornell University, 124 Fernow Hall, Ithaca, NY 14853, ph: (607) 255-7778, saw44@cornell.edu.
