We have lots of upcoming events for you to be aware of.
First, Ohio Maple Days returns the first Saturday of December. On the day preceding, Friday 12/5, we will be hosting a half-day maple syrup grading workshop from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
On Saturday the 6th, the official Ohio Maple Days event begins at 8:30 AM but plan to arrive early to converse with our vendors, get your hydrometers submitted for testing, and for fellowship with your sugarmaking peers.
The agenda is full with talks ranging from syrup sales strategies to cost-benefit analysis of various sugarbush investments, wildlife in the sugarbush plus an afternoon beginner’s track. Click here to Register and for more program information.
In November, on back to back dates, beginner workshops are offered in Portage and Williams counties on 11/6 and 11/7. With an emphasis on backyard maple, participants will not only go home with a head full of knowledge, they will also go home with a few pieces of tubing and spouts so that they are ready to tackle their lawn maples in another couple of months. You can find out more information and register HERE for the November 6th Portage event. You can find more information and register HERE for the November 7th Williams event.
Lastly, the Legacy Planning workshop that we offered last year at Maple Days was very popular and successful. There is a complimentary event titled “Keeping Your Woodlands in the Family” on November 4th from 6-8 PM. Please click HERE for more information or to register.
