Intro to Sugarbush Management

Join us for a deep dive into sugarbush management! This crash course will cover an overview of maple in Maine, habitat assessment (including Bird Friendly Maple! and invasive plants), production, and financial incentives. You'll leave this workshop with resources and knowledge to increase the biodiversity of your sugarbush while accessing financial resources (including NRCS), forestry technical assistance, and a couple different certifications. This workshop is cohosted with Maine Audubon, University of Maine Extension, Maine Forest Service, and MOFGA Certification Services.

Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided.

This course has been approved by the Society of American Foresters for 3 Category 1 CFEs.
