Maple Toolkit Now Online

Are you a woodland owner looking for an annual income opportunity? Maple syrup could be that opportunity.

Many woodland owners think that in order to reap the economic benefits of having maple trees it will require a huge investment. That isn’t necessarily true it just depends on how invested you want to be. To help woodland owners think through the options a multi-state group of specialists has created the Maple Toolkit. The toolkit has a variety of documents and resources designed to help natural resource professionals and woodland owners asses their woodland maple potential.

Let’s take a look at what’s in the toolkit.
