Sugarbush Walk
- Saturday, December 16, 2017, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Maple
Knoll Farm taps 1,500 trees on 46 acres. Please join us for a sugarbush
walk & workshop with Joe Orefice, director of the Cornell Uihlein
Research Forest, on scouting for Forest Tent Caterpillar egg masses. We will
discuss recent maple defoliation by the caterpillars, ways to estimate
defoliation in spring by egg mass counting in fall, as well as options for
management. Following the workshop, Eric Klippel, founder of Maple Knoll Farm,
will provide a tour of his maple production facility. He’s also graciously
providing refreshments for the event. For this reason, please
RSVP here. Or copy and paste this link (https://pub.cce.cornell.edu/event_registration/main/events_landing.cfm?event=MapleKnollSugarbushWalk_215)
We’d like to take this opportunity to bring Essex County maple producers
together & explore topics for discussion groups, such as techniques for
optimizing microbial activity in syrup for your target flavor and color. This
event is hosted by Essex County CCE & Maple Knoll Farm. Please email Carly
Summers at cfs82@cornell.edu with
any questions, or call 518-962-4810 x409
