Beginning Maple Syrup Production

[Scott G]

Here is another Webinar. For the most part, these have been very worthwhile. Thought some of you folks in sugarin’ country might be interested in this. Contact me if you need any help logging in. You want to get hooked up with the software ahead of time so there are no delays the day of the webinar. Only takes a few minutes to get set to go.

Please share the following release for the January 12th webinar with folks who might be interested.

The PA Forests Web Seminar Center ( http://rnrext.cas.psu.edu/PAForestWeb/) is pleased to announce the January on-line program. Bob Hansen, Forest Resources and Maple Products Extension Educator, Penn State Cooperative Extension, will be presenting Beginning Maple Syrup Production on Tuesday, January 12th at noon and again at 7 p.m. Each seminar lasts approximately one hour.

Many forest landowners seek additional opportunities to generate income off their property, not tied to harvesting timber; others like to be self-sufficient and make use of the resource they have; other landowners are looking for family-centered hobbies making use of their forested resources. This webinar will introduce the process of making maple syrup on a small scale, from selecting trees to managing your sugar bush, and what to think about if you want to get bigger and turn it into a business. Qualifies for 1.0 SAF CFE, Category 2.

Live seminars are scheduled for the second Tuesday of every month at noon and 7 p.m. Each session is recorded and loaded onto the Web Seminar Center along with a copy of the presentation and any handout materials. So, if you are unable to participate in the “live” session, a recording of it will be available for you to view at your convenience. Of course, none of the interactive elements will be available when watching the recording.

To participate in the live seminars you must register and have a “Friend of Penn State” user ID. The “Register Now” page on the website will walk you through this process. If you are a member of the Penn State community, you already have your User ID, but we would ask you to register on the website so that you can receive reminders of upcoming programs.

Participation in the web seminar does not require any special software. To view live and previously recorded seminars all you need is a high-speed Internet connection and sound.

To register and take part in the live seminars or to view the upcoming seminars schedule, visit http://rnrext.cas.psu.edu/PAForestWeb/.

We look forward to having you join these discussions and learning experiences. “See” you there on January 12
