Washington Bigleaf Maple Syrup Network
Connect with other bigleaf maple syrup enthusiasts
WSU Extension Forestry provides this email discussion list to connect people across Washington who are tapping or thinking about tapping their bigleaf maple trees for syrup and other products. This is an opportunity for people to share ideas and techniques, ask and answer questions, see where sap is currently flowing, and discuss other things related to producing bigleaf maple syrup. There is a lot of collective experience out there to tap into (we can not confirm nor deny if that pun was intended).
Anyone can subscribe to the list, and subscribers can easily unsubscribe at any time.
